We understand everything within the entire existence is emanating from internal or external potency of the Lord. The whole material nature is working under the direction of Krsna. As we treat other living beings, Krsna will also reciprocate accordingly. So we have all been wandering through various species of life, countless births, what to speak of this life, in so many pervious lives, we have made offences, we have hurt others, we have exploited the property of God, we have engaged in sinful activities. Is there anyone who will claim he has never offended others? Has never engaged in sinful activities? Everything is a property of God, everything is meant for Krsna’s enjoyment. Every time we claim proprietorship of something and try to enjoy it, we actually are thieves; stealing what belongs to Krsna. So our only hope in spiritual life is that the Lord forgives us. If He does not forgive us for all of our offences, we have no hope whatsoever. But Krsna explains that He will forgive those who forgive others, if we are not willing to forgive people who have offended us, how can we expect Krsna to forgive us when we offend Him. If you forgive, you will be forgiven; if you do not forgive, you will not be forgiven. We see this as one of the great qualities of all great Vaishnavas. Now there is no limit to which they are willing to forgive others and therefore they are so very dear to the Lord.

H H Radhanath Swami MaharajTake advantage of this rare opportunity of this human form of life. There are 8,400,000 different species of life through which we are rotating lifetime after lifetime. So getting a human body is not an every day affair. This most auspicious opportunity only comes after many millions of lifetimes in the lower species. Anyone who does not utilize their human life for self-realization is making the greatest mistake. When this happens it is the greatest tragedy, and unfortunately today this neglect of the human form has become the standard behavior for the entire human society. What can be done? We must first ourselves become solidly situated in Krishna consciousness and then do the highest welfare activity of spreading to everyone else all over the world.
