Author of quotes: Radhanath Swami

Usually we judge others only by external signs and tend to see only flaws in them. But if we take a closer look, we will see that human nature is like a carpet woven from millions of threads. People's shortcomings and shortcomings are often caused by a combination of circumstances - a psychological reaction to emotional wounds, violence and rejection from society, disappointment, insecurity, suffering, humiliation or illness.

Fear makes us vulnerable.

"Do everything in your power - he said the spiritual master, but if you do something to satisfy their vanity or if you have any selfish motives, you can not see success. I give you this blessing: if you're selfless, loving, and unselfish, then a higher power will help you, and all your endeavors will be successful".

Spiritual life does not accept a superficial relationship. We must be willing to take responsibility. If we too are passionate about the outer side of the spiritual life, you can forget about its main purpose - the purification of the heart.

- Bhikku, he denies all what You dedicated your life. What You hear this?
Bhikku surprised at my question, opened his eyes wide and exclaimed: "He says all right!"
- What are you going to do now?
Bhikku stared thoughtfully into the distance, and then suddenly said:
"Yes, I will follow the guidance of Mr. Krishnamurthy. Want to know how?"
"Of course!"
"I reject the teaching of the teacher that calls to reject all teachers and their teaching."

After going through many trials, I realized one truth: if we steadily follow our sacred ideals, not letting the successes or failures to knock us out of the way, you can feel the amazing power, which, being infinitely more powerful than us, testing us, protects and gives the ability to do something good.

The mind pervades our entire body. The power of mind over matter is achieved through mind control. This does not require a lot of knowledge, but what you know you need to apply in practice.

The food of one person is poison for another. What gives pleasure to one another to cause suffering. Perception of this world is a relative depends on our subjective experience. So God, who is the Supreme absolute, different people manifests itself in different ways. I realized that only a biased and narrow-minded person will claim that there is only one path leading to God.

Humility does not mean a cowardly escape from the problems of real life. On the contrary, true humility is meant to help to mobilize all their forces, to overcome any difficulties without compromising their ideals without losing their respect, gratitude and love, and thus become, as it can be an instrument of God. In this humility the greatness of much more than our sad need to put themselves above others. Humility protects us from the arrogance and contemptuous attitude to those we used to consider inferior. It also protects us from the envy of those who are in fact superior to us. A humble person not taking any credit for all his achievements, he thanked God and those who received support. A humble heart makes it easy to admit their mistakes and opens the heart to a new. Cultivating humility, we do not destroy our "I", always radiating the love of God and all of creation.

See this grass? She is happy to serve all, occupying the unenviable position - beneath our feet. Whenever she comes, she comes out to serve again. She needed to learn humility. See that tree? It patiently endure the scorching summer heat, and itself gives us shade. It endures the bitter cold, supplying us with firewood so we warmed up it may idle for several months without a drop of moisture, at the same time bringing people juicy fruits to quench thirst, - and all this without a single complaint! We need to learn patience from the tree. Have to become humbler than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, to show sincere respect for others and not expect any respect in return.

All the wonderful phenomena of this world are transitory. Here nothing is permanent. Every moment nature is changing. Mother Ganges, like nature in General, is eternal, but the age of her creations short-lived. Similarly, inexorably destroys all that we hold dear in this world. We will not be able to save anything permanently. But if we are able to appreciate the beauty of the deep currents of truth beneath the surging surface waves of joy and sorrow we will see a completely different reality.

What we think becomes our life. Speaking on meaningless topics, we have pointless thoughts, ideas, and the same meaningless life.
Communication can convince us of anything and make you believe in anything, so be careful when choosing a circle of friends.

If Your life was raining, focus on the flowers, which bloom thanks to the rain.
