- Nothing can obscure our spiritual progress except our own false ego. I am my own worst enemy.
- Devotion to the Absolute means sacrifice – “die to live.”
- If we have an idea of the infinite broadness and depth of the Absolute, how can we value anything here?
- To identify with the interest of our family, society, or country is extended selfishness.
- When everything is measured from the standpoint of selfishness and not the universal interest – that is the cause of all our troubles.
- We must learn to critique ourselves and appreciate the environment.
- The infinite comes down to welcome, to fully embrace the finite – that is Vrndavana.
- In Vrndavana, not a corner is left neglected. Every grain of sand, every blade of grass, is well represented there with personality.
- Existence without consciousness is to exist with no purpose. But when existence is endowed with consciousness, it can search for its own good; ecstasy.
- Our relationship with the subjective is that of reverence and devotion to the higher entity, and not that of exploitation or enjoyment.
