What appears to be a curse can be a blessing if we simply appreciate the inner essence of the possibility of how to connect to God in that situation.
We have to seek the essence of all religions; then we can see how spirituality actually unites us and empowers us instead of breaking us down.
The diverse religions and races bring beauty to the world if we truly understand in our hearts the essence of who we are and what we stand for. And that really is the essence of spirituality.
Familiarity leads to lack of Gratitude.
In Kali yuga, duration of life is shortened not so much because insufficient food but because of irregular habits.
If you do some wonderful service and if you tell people what you did in a boastful way, it nullifies the credit of your service, may not be in the eternal platform, but in your conscious condition you will not be able to reap the benefits of that service.
Pure love of God is our nature, but we are so much diverted, so much distracted by the externals that we've forgotten that it's our essence.
To purify the heart is the one and only purpose that God has created this human life.
Bhakti is expressed through our service attitude.
Death is not big thing, what is important is God's service.
Remembrance is a necessary expression of love, internally.
In Kali yuga, whole atmosphere is surcharged with faithlessness, Material sense gratification is standard of civilization.
Kali yuga is so much saturated with vicious habits that there is a great fight at the slightest of misunderstanding.
Genuine spiritual movement should forgive and encourage.
