Radhanath Swami on Greatness
A great person is like a tree which is filled with fruits. A person who actually has good qualities is like that tree, with many fruits. Because of the fruits of the good qualities, the tree always bows down to everyone. But a tree that has no fruits stands up very straight. Similarly if a person is actually blessed by the Lord, if a person is actually great, with good qualities, he will offer all respects to others and not expect respect for himself. God does not tolerate false pride in anyone for very long. Very soon the pride will be crushed.

ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful analogy which I hope never to forget - "a tree with fruits always bows down".
ReplyDeleteMaharaj is like that big tree with unlimited number of fruits of divine qualities and always bowing down in the mood of a selfless servant to every living entity.
Maharaj is personification of this quality and simply by following his instructions, some day i pray i too may imbibe a speck of that humility.

ReplyDeleteGod's wrath is a kind of His mercy which can take out a devotee from the quigmire of being pride. Radhanath Swami has captured this point very nicely.
ReplyDeletePride goes before a fall - we have heard this so many times, but very difficult to implement, especially during trying circumstances.
ReplyDeleteRadhanath Swami is that tree fully laden with sweet fruits of love of Godhead and thus he is always most respectful to all living entities.
