Things can give pleasure to the mind and senses, but only love can give pleasure to the heart. And ultimately, that is what we are looking for.
In giving respect we can be very happy, because we can do it in all situations. When we expect respect we are miserable, because it is not that everyone in every situation will respect us.
If our mind is in conflict, not balanced with our body and with the needs of the soul, then there is a fundamental disunity in our life. Only if we have unity within ourselves, we can create unity in the world around us. You can't give something you don't have, even if you have all good intentions
Sometimes the Lord gives us a free sample of religious experience, but for more, we must pay a price with the currency of sincere dedication to the process of cleansing.
If we have strong desire then God miraculously removes obstacles and gives us the power to overcome them.
Enthusiasm and eagerness give life to our devotional service.
Even when Krishna gives you strength, maya will delude you to think it is your strength.
Detachment does not mean to neglect what Krishna gives you. Detachment means to do the needful as an offering to Krishna.
