“He who is in Kṛṣṇa consciousness does not care for material distress, insult or honor because he is aloof from all these. … Socrates, for instance, who believed in the immortality of the soul, was condemned to death, and upon being asked how he would like to be buried, replied, “First of all you may have to catch me.” So one who knows that he is not the body is not disturbed, for he knows the soul cannot be caught, tortured, killed or buried. … He is not concerned with the modes of goodness, passion or ignorance, but with Kṛṣṇa. One who understands this is a jñānī, a wise man, and he is very much dear to Kṛṣṇa.”

“To align the ego with the essence, one must first recognize their distinct voices. The ego, often loud and insistent, speaks in tones of desire and doubt, pride and prejudice, shaped by the external world and its ceaseless demands. The essence, on the other hand, whispers in the language of intuition and inner truth, a language as old as the universe itself, resonating with the frequencies of love, compassion, and authenticity.”

“We live by revelation, as Christians, as artists, which means we must be careful never to get set into rigid molds. The minute we begin to think we know all the answers, we forget the questions, and we become smug like the Pharisee who listed all his considerable virtues, and thanked God that he was not like other men. Unamuno might be describing the artist as well as the Christian as he writes, "Those who believe they believe in God, but without passion in the heart, without anguish of mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, and even at times without despair, believe only in the idea of God, and not in God himself.”
