Radhanath Swami on Practicing Philosophy

Putting philosophy into practice, to the best of our abilities – that’s real spiritual life. Some people get so caught up in the mere intellectual aspect of philosophy that they don’t really take any of it seriously. They just want to know more and more, without applying any of it in their lives.

But even if we know only a few fundamental principles of spiritual life, and seriously apply them in our lives, follow them ardently, without hypocrisy or ulterior motives, we will attain spiritual perfection – of this there is no doubt.

  4. Without practicing any philosophy, there can be no realizations. And without realizations, the philosophy remains merely theoretical. Radhanath Swami is the personification of this principle.

  12. Radhanath Swami has captured the essence of what is spirituality. To act what we speak is not so easy and that's why Action certainly speaks much louder than words.
