When we are honoured for a thing, we become attached to that thing.
A devotee's life should be so exemplary that it increases the faith upon other devotees.
If a leader engages in sinful activity that becomes the standard, if he is strict that becomes the standard.
My parents' selfless affection and dedication nourished and prepared me to receive the love of my guru or spiritual father, Swami Prabhupada. My parents prepared the soil in which my guru sowed the seeds of his compassion.
The challenge of co-operation in today's age of quarrel can be achieved by adjusting every situation according to the higher principle of loving God.
The greater is our sphere of influence, the greater the responsibility.
We, as parents, must understand the serious responsibility that we have in inculcating love for God in the hearts of children. If our children do not feel love they will not understand God’s love because the love of the parent is translated to the children as the love of God. When they feel their parents' love, they can actually begin to understand God’s love.
Understand suffering is a part of my karma, otherwise you will spoil your future karma also.
Every time you are passing the test, you are coming closer to Krishna.

To love someone in the spiritual sense is not based on how I want to love you; its based on what you want.
When you take responsibility over others you have to be actually Selfless.
