The Bible says, “Seek and you shall find.” If you have hope in any situation and you are looking for service there will be an opportunity for service revealed to you. If you are looking for reason to give up your faith you will find that too. As you approach the Lord, He reciprocates accordingly. If you take full shelter of the Lord, the Lord gives you Himself in full. If you take partial shelter of the Lord, He partially helps and leaves the rest to you.
If we are sincerely trying to taking shelter of God’s message, God will give us unlimited hope and unlimited faith in due course. But if we do not have that hope and faith and we continue with the same sincerity, God sees that we are genuine, we are for real. It is called the dark night of the soul. If you are practicing but you are feeling no love, even you feel your faith waning, but if you carry on practicing that’s the price of divine love.

Thank you Radhanath Swami for such a enlightening words...
ReplyDeletePractising Spirituality in current circumstances of the world is very challenging and the more greater problem is the conditioning that we are carrying in our heart - we can shut the whole world out and sit in a closed room, but what about our minds, thoughts, habits - one word conditioning?
ReplyDeleteRadhanath Swami gives a lot of hope and positive direction to purify this conditioning and proceed to deeper levels of faith and experience in Spiritual life
Even God wants to if we are for real. Amazing realization. Very helpful for a struggling sadhaka.
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful and practical experience shared by Radhanath Swami maharaj. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Maharaj for the nectar. We needed it!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Without faith there's no surrender... & persistence is rewarded with the best gift of Love. Thanks for the wonderful realization!!
ReplyDeleteIf we sincerely want to know & love God, then He will definitely reciprocate by providing us the divine shelter & invaluable spiritual guidance of a bonafide guru like Radhanath Swami
ReplyDeleteThanks you maharaj for sharing your divine realisations.........

Anything valuable comes with a price tag. The more the value the more the price. So, developing or strenghtening faith in God in our tough times means we have to be sincere.
ReplyDeleteThnaks Maharaj for every thing.
ReplyDeletethank you radhanath swami maharaj for enlightening so many conditioned souls towards spirituality with bliss and content. I will be eternally grateful to your boundless sacrifice. thank you very much radhanath swami maharaj.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much maharaj.
ReplyDeleteThank you Maharaj. Radhanath swami has explained it in such a simple manner that any lay man( in spiritualiy) can understand the mening of it.
ReplyDeleteRadhanath Swami has launched a lot of social & spiritual projects such as Barsana Eye Camp, Mid-Day meal, Share your Care etc. so that people who are keen to lead a devotional life can be properly engaged. Its upto us, how we can make the most of the opportunities provided by Radhanath Swami & progress on the spiritual path.
ReplyDeleteIf we take shelter of a bonafide guru like Radhanath Swami, only then can we make tremendous spiritual progress & get the mercy of the Supreme Lord.
ReplyDeleteDear friends. I found this site which speaks about Radhanath Swami's new book. It seems to be a good book. The autobiography of a great saint.

Yes, Maharaj nices has made me understand from his instruction that only sincerity matters and that's what Krsna is interested in. I only have to desire genuinely and Krsna will make the oppurtunities appear for me. I pray for Maharaja's blessings that I grab those oppurtunities when it comes and serve the Lord in the way that will be pleasing to Him.
ReplyDeletePlease bless everyone Maharaj to have this hope & faith.......
ReplyDeleteRadhanath Swami wants us to be sincere in our Spiritual practice and soon everything will be revealed to us...
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. When i read
ReplyDeleteSeems a very fair price for divine love. It just a matter of putting faith and sincere efforts.
ReplyDeleteIf we take 1 step towards God, He takes 100 towards us.
ReplyDeleteIf we take one step towards GOD, He takes 100 towards us.
ReplyDeleteThank you HH Radhanath Swami for the explaining the price of divine love.
ReplyDeleteWhat Radhanath Swami has wonderfully brought about here is that it is our desire that is the most important thing in our life. Energy follows the intent.
ReplyDeleteSo inspiring when we deeply think that God can give us UNLIMITED faith and hope!
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving me hope and lesson of patience
ReplyDeleteIt's a very profound and deep realization!
ReplyDeleteRadhanath Swami wishes everyone to take full shelter of the Lord for their own good, because only in that situation Lord will give Himself fully.
ReplyDeleteGod is looking for that sincere desire.
ReplyDeleteVery much hope giving quote and inspiring us to have faith in the GOD and be sincere. thank you very much Radhanath swmai maharaj.

that's the very nice encouraging words for continuing worship God in any circumstances by Radhanath Swami
ReplyDeleteThank you Radhanath Swami very much!
ReplyDeleteThere is so much depth in every message for Radhanath Swami
ReplyDeleteSrila Radhanath Swami Maharaj explains such profound and deep messages in a very simple and crystal clear way. When will that day be mine, when I will have unflinching faith at the lotus feet of the Lord and His bonafide representative, the Spiriual Master? By reading such posts by Maharaj fills my heart with joy that there is a ray of hope for a fallen soul like myself. Thank you, Maharaj.
ReplyDeletevery very nice. Radhanath Swami is amazing.
ReplyDeletevery inspiring ...
ReplyDeleteGod reciprocates depending upon our personal wish. So true. Maharaj 's post enlightens us with small but very important information. Thanks Maharaj
ReplyDeleteAnything in life we get easily then we do not value that thing ,but If we get that after lot of ups and down we really value it.Radhanath Swami is highlighting that "sincerity" is such nice quality that if we maintain consistently, then divine love we can get easily by the mercy of God.
ReplyDeleteThis message from Radhanath Swami is so sublime and mystical. Everytime I read it, I derive newer inspirations, that I had not experienced in previous readings of the same article.
ReplyDeleteIt motivates me to keep up my struggle to become fully Krishna Conscious, for this struggle is the only way I can show my love for Krishna at this stage and thereby please Him.
Thank you again.
this piece of article is very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice article by Radhanath Swami. Very akin to "As you sow so shall you reap". As much as we have faith, we reap the benefits having the Lord's mercy.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for the wonderful post
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Maharaj
ReplyDeleteThis reminded me of one conversation about Srila Prabhupad. He was asked what is the single most important thing for one to advance in spirtual life and he replied "Pure Desires"
ReplyDeleteRadhanath Swami Maharaj Thank you v much !!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Radhanath Swami Maharaj for giving us hope. How could we have understood what Lord wanted from us without His devotee, out of his compassion, revealing it to us.
ReplyDeleteWonderful.
ReplyDeleteRadhanath Swami's teachings are very special
ReplyDeleteAll great genuine saints have one common thing in common - they all teach us how to love God sincerely.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that Srila Radhanath Swami Maharaj stresses is that we should be sincere in our spiritual lives. We must have a sincere desire to serve and please the Lord and His representatives, by rendering devotional service. Only then the Lord, being pleased with us, showers His mercy upon us.
ReplyDeleteThe spiritual master knows exactly what is exactly required for the disciple to achieve the love of God. Radhanath Swami is teaching us the process.
ReplyDeleteThankyou Radhanath Swami for such beautiful teachings.
ReplyDeleteThat is God's love toward us - He gives us free will.
ReplyDeleteReally very beautiful lines.
ReplyDeleteLot of encouragement Radhanath Swami has given for those who sometimes get frustrated knowing that so much ignorance and conditioning is still there even after trying very hard on the transcendental path.
