Radhanath Swami on A Humbling Experience

The great problem we face in life is that we all want to be in control of our destiny, today and tomorrow. But the problem is, no one is in control. There are higher powers, dictating circumstances upon everyone; we have control over our future destiny by our activities today. That is the law of karma. But what is coming upon us is something not always under our control. Ultimately we all are being controlled by time. You loose your beauty, you loose your memory, you loose your physical capacities, does any one want to be old? But can anyone stop the process? It is a humbling experience to live in this world, because we are not the controllers.

    Amazing realisation by HH Radhanath Swami. The very fact that every one is growing old in this world should make us humble to take up spiritual path seriously.

    A very important aspect in spiritual realization is to understand the Supremacy of the Lord and accept that He is the Ultimate Controller

    Whoever we may be,whatever activity we may be performing but the true fact is that we are not the controllers of these things.Yes by connecting ourselves to the transcendental activities under bonafide guidance we can change our future.This is how God helps those who want to help self.

    Absolutely true! We are trying not only to control our destiny but other's too, but we should understand that nothing is under our control. Hope this realization sinks in and we act accordingly.

    Jai Shri Krishna Swamiji
    The way you explain so big things in a very simplistic way is just beyond any words. It directly touches the heart and reminds me constantly what is really true in life.
    We are not the controllers so very true!
    Keep posting.
