Respect
You cannot show respect to someone unless you are able to truly and humbly appreciate them.
Nature of Spirit Souls – Happiness
Everyone is hankering for happiness because by nature we are happy : anandamayo ‘bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12). As spirit souls we are naturally happy, blissful.
Culture
Philosophy is like a product and culture is like the packaging. Without proper packaging the product will not be protected nor will it even look attractive.
The Most Important Activity
“Our Most Important Activity”
“There is no doubt about it: to distribute books is one most important activity. The temple is not a place for eating & sleeping, but a base from which we send out our soldiers to fight with maya. Fight with maya means to drop thousands and millions of books into the lap of conditioned souls. Just like during war time the bombs are raining from the sky like anything.” – August 03, 1973 to Ramesvara.
