“When a Krishna Conscious person is elevated to a responsible position, he never becomes puffed up. Just like a tree when over-laden with fruits becomes humble and lower down. Similarly, a great soul in Krishna Consciousness becomes humbler than the grass and bowed down like the fruitful trees because a Krishna Conscious person acts as the agent of Krishna, therefore he discharges his duty with great responsibility.” PersonsSoulConsciousnessResponsibilityTreePositionHumilityDutyConsciousResponsibleFruitHumbleAgentsGrassKrishnaDischargeGreat SoulsGreat Responsibility Author:A.

“Our work is not to save souls, but to disciple them. Salvation and sanctification are the work of God's sovereign grace, and our work as His disciples is to disciple others' lives until they are totally yielded to God. One life totally devoted to God is of more value to Him than one hundred lives which have been simply awakened by His Spirit. As workers for God, we must reproduce our own kind spiritually, and those lives will be God's testimony to us as His workers. God brings us up to a standard of life through His grace, and we are responsible for reproducing that same standard in others.” KindHas BeensSoulSpiritValuesGraceStandardsHundredResponsibleSalvationWorkersDevotedDiscipleSovereignTestimonyAwakenedSanctificationReproducing Author:Oswald Chambers
