Radhanath Swami on Defining Our Ideals

We all have to define in our own life what our ideals are. If we are cheating and lying for selfish motives then we are going to suffer the negative reactions. Is that what we want? But if we are trying to be honest and we are trying to do our work because it is our duty to our family and to our society, but we have to do certain things just because it has to be done with ethics, with morality, with integrity, then it’s different. So once again, what is your ideal? What is your motivation?

    I read somewhere from Radhanath Swami that we can judge ourselves by the ideals we hold dear.

    Once again Maharaj has caught us wrong footed. We must be serious in getting out of this material world. If we have ulterior motives, then as maharaj says, we will have to suffer for those actions. A devotee is known by his good character, in this way he himself progresses in path of devotion and also inspires others to lead a life filled with moral values.

    The words of a sadhu are heavy and brings forth our own deeply hidden motives and attachments to the surface of our heart for us to decide what to do next. Such are the words of HH Radhanath Swami. Thank you for sharing this wonderfully inspiring article
