When we speak of the dust of the lotus feet of the Spiritual Master, we are speaking of humble approach to serve his instructions. Unless we humbly serve the instructions of the great soul, it is Krishna's arrangement the He never reveals Himself.
If we are truly humble , we will co-operate.
Whoever we are, wherever we are, however we are, whatever our condition is, there is no impediment to attaining the perfection of life-if we are humble & sincere.
Krishna exalts those who are humble and humbles those who exalt themselves.
There is false humility and genuine humility and between them, there is a desire of the practitioner to become humble.
Our humble service attitude in our life is what determines what effect chanting will have on our consciousness. Otherwise we can be chanting for millions and millions of births before we actually achieve the goal.
Even if you have done no wrong, no mistake in the last 50 years, remember the mistake you did 51 years ago and repent for it and become humble.
Japa, Bhajana and Kirtana are superficial to the extent that we are not humble.
The more one makes spiritual advancement, one feels humble and as one's devotion is superficial that much he feels that he is a great devotee.
The word surrender sounds horrible to one who wants to enjoy his senses but very sweet to one who has a humble heart.
Humble people dont get Offended easily.
In our conditioned nature we do not understand value of something until we lose it.
The only way we can make this world a better place is to transcend it.
Parallel to our vast strides in technology, there is a dangerous rise in unemployment, foreclosures, and degrading education. Millions of people are stricken with hopelessness and strife. Sadly, in the name of progress we have polluted the air, water, soil and the food we eat.
