Niranjana Swami's Quote Of The Day

June 16

Devotees help each other by seeing the good qualities in each other. By seeing the good qualities in each other, we can fan and encourage them so that they will feel sheltered. And by feeling sheltered, they will automatically want to come up to a higher standard and improve. These are Vaisnava relationships.

TCD, Pg 78, 4th Paragraphh

We may think, ''Oh, there is only one person who may be a source of inspiration for me.'' But that means we are far away, because we can't see that there are many other persons also assisting him in fulfilling a similar function. There are many others who are assisting and giving us inspiration, who are giving us care. We are meant to have relationships with them also. But if all we see is just one person, that means we are still very far from him.
