Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta
The secret of happiness
But without respect for and knowledge of the beloved love
runs the risk of deteriorating into domination and possessiveness. Respect means
the ability to see a person as he is , to be aware of the individuality and
uniqueness. This is not possible without knowing him. Care and responsibility
may become blind and do more harm than good if they are not guided by deep
knowledge of the persons temperament and aptitudes. Being established in Bharamukha,
Sri Ramakrishna had a tremendous ability to know the specific mood or bhava of
each individual who come to him. Once he knew a person intimately it teas easy
for him to guide him on his spiritual path. He never destroyed the specific mental attitude of
anyone . Nor did he try to impose his
ideas forcibly on other. rather he endeavoured to raise each one from where he
was and led him in the direction of his natural bent of mind innumerable
instances can be cited of how . Sri Ramakrishna showed respect for the uniqueness
of each individual.

B Dayita Madhava Maharaj
We cannot know Krishna through arrogance because He is
the unchallengeable Truth. He has no cause, and there is no one equal to or
greater than Him. Allow yourself to experience the grace of Krishna. To know
Krishna, surrender yourself with all humility. Be inquisitive in a reverential
manner, about all that is spiritual. Serve with an attitude of surrender, unto
the spiritual master who has knowledge of the spiritual.
To understand the significance of Krishna consciousness,
we first have to know who Krishna is. The significance of Krishna is His
remarkable divine personality. The scriptures define the etymological meaning
of the word Krishna: the word ‘Krishna’ is composed of the root krishh, meaning
bhu, the shelter of all existence, and the word na, meaning nivriti, or the
form of supreme bliss.
Combined, they form the word Krishna that signifies Param
Brahmn, the Supreme Absolute Truth. Krishna means self-existing bliss. Vedanta
defines this as Aanandam Brahma: He is that rasa, ananda, or bliss. One who
drinks that rasa becomes full of bliss.
In another sense, the word Krishna means krishh, ‘to
attract’, or karshane, and na, or giving bliss. The one who attracts all and
gives them bliss, and who is blissful Himself, is known as Krishna. In other
words, Krishna means ‘all-attractive’ and ‘all-bliss-giving’. When he exhibits
His aspect of being smaller than the smallest, Krishna is known as Parmatama.
When he exhibits his aspect of being greater that the greatest, he is known as
Brahmn.

But, if He exists?
I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7
minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his
colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting
ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The
doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten
minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire
lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you
grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
