Humanity evolves when we realise that animals have the same rights to the Earth as we do.
That is truth. In that truth, there is real happiness. And there is nothing that could disturb that happiness.
Real compassion means to understand what the needs for body, mind and soul are.
Crying out to the lord is the only eternal reality within this temporary world.
Preaching means to awaken the real inclination to serve God.
Real responsibility means to live and speak in such a way as to help peoples faith and not to disturb it.
Real religion is about, developing real character; character of compassion, character of humility, the character of determination to grow in all circumstances.
Real religion is not about being a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim. Real religion is about loving God, & dedicating ones life to be an instrument of Gods compassion, kindness towards other living beings.
Real humility does not depress you, but allows you to call intensely and brings us closer to Krishna.
All beautiful forms of this world are in the process of transformation. Nothing is stable. With every moment, our reality is changing. Mother Ganges, like nature, is constant, but no manifestation of hers remains. Likewise, all that we hold dear in this world is imperceptibly vanishing. We cannot cling to anything. But if we can appreciate the beauty of the underlying current of truth, we can enjoy a reality deeper than the fickle waves of joy and sorrow.
Real problem is not population explosion, but what the population is doing.
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.
