Radhanath Swami on Love and Unity
The way to love and unity is giving credit and glory to each other. Then there is no competition and envy.
Love
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.
Qualities of a Devotee
A pure devotee always thinks himself as a non-devotee. If one thinks he is a big devotee that is not good. We should not be puffed up. A devotee avoids it, remaining always in the second degree. Krishna has given everyone something extraordinary and to serve Krishna with one’s extraordinary talent means successful life.
Mind
Although the mind may work imperfectly at the time of death, Krishna gives a devotee shelter at His lotus feet. Therefore, when a devotee gives up his body, the mind does not take him to another material body. Rather, Krishna takes the devotee to that place where He is engaged in His pastimes. One’s consciousness, therefore, must always be absorbed in Krishna, and then one’s life will be successful. Otherwise, the mind will carry the soul to another material body.
