Jennifer Kavanagh quotes

As with other movements of the spirit, simplicity can be both a cause and an effect. As a spiritual path develops, so there is a yearning for a simpler life; as we simplify our life, so the inner voice becomes clearer.

When we apply simplicity to our own lives, when we strip away the unnecessary, the extraneous from ourselves, we become more truly who we are, and as such we reveal the potential we were born to express.

What empowers me in my daily work and life is the knowledge that I will be guided, if I let go of my need to control. That I need only to leave space for grace to work in me.

When a pure devotee or spiritual master speak, what he says should be accepted as having been directly spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the Parampara System.

Since one cannot visually experience the presence of the Supersoul, He appears before us as a liberated devotee. Such a spiritual master is none other than Krishna himself.

It is imperative that one approaches a spiritual master, for by such association one proportionately develops his consciousness towards the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

The spiritual master and Krishna are two parallel lines. The train, on two tracks, moves forward. The spiritual Master and Krishna are like these two tracks. They must be served simultaneously. Krishna helps one to find bona fide Spiritual Master and bona fide Spiritual Master helps one to understand Krishna. If one does not get bona fide Spiritual Master, then how he can ever understand Krishna ? You cannot serve Krishna without Spiritual Master, or serve just Spiritual Master without serving Krishna. They must be served simultaneously.

The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of the nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell a big one.

At times almost all of us envy the animals. They suffer and die, but do not seem to make a "problem" of it.

Follow the way of life, which the Holy Prophet has shown you, for verily that is the right path.

The so-called peace path is not peace and it is not a substitute for jihad and resistance

A throne is God's purpose for you; a cross is God's path for you; faith is God's plan for you.

The past stands in the path of the future, knowing it will be crushed.
