Responsibility means to perform our service properly,with proper attitude, behavior and words.
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.
When you take responsibility over others you have to be actually Selfless.
There cannot be love without trust and there cannot be trust unless we take the responsibility to act in a way that people can trust us.
Taking responsibility of others means to be selfless. We have to put aside our own well being and desires as secondary and to think primarily of what is best for the persons who are looking up to us.
Real responsibility means to live and speak in such a way as to help peoples faith and not to disturb it.
If someone takes responsibility without force, that is love.
Wherever there is power, there is very great responsibility to utilize it properly.
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.
Humanity evolves when we realise that animals have the same rights to the Earth as we do.
Whether we fear pain and suffering or not, pain and suffering will come to everyone. Why not keep our minds focused on where we want to go?
