Radhanath Swami: No Pain, No Gain

41 No pain no gain

 

“To become humble, we have to struggle against the natural course of the way this world works and fight against our egoistic tendencies.” – Radhanath Swami

And how do we do that? By accepting a sub ordinate position. It may be humiliating and torturous to our ego, but doesn’t a champion weight lifter torture his muscles to make them strong? To be a proper athlete, doesn’t it take tremendous effort and pain? To graduate from a prestigious university, doesn’t it take a lot of effort and pain? The nature of the intelligence is to be ignorant.If a student just lets his intelligence do what it wants, he will remain ignorant. Because he is willing to go against that tendency of his intelligence, and struggle hard to study, to learn, to memorize, he succeeds. So, if we want to achieve anything worth while in life, we have to put our effort and be willing go through the pains needed to succeed.

  2. Thank you Radhanath Swami for this very wonderful article explaining without going through pains, we can not gain anything.

  3. What a nice statement by Radhanath Swami – ”if we want to achieve anything worth while in life, we have to put our effort and be willing go through the pains needed to succeed.”

  4. Nice inspirational article from Radhanath maharaj, one can read this whenever one gets complacent and gives up ones efforts.

  5. Nice analogy given by Radhanath swami… To be subordinate dose not actually means a lower position…

  6. We have to strive hard to submerge our ego, and to gain the mercy and love of Krishna! Thank you Radhanath swami for this instructive message.

  7. After gain, no one remembers pain but to have gain, one need to undergo pain. All glories to HH Radhanatha Swami Maharaja.

  8. Thank you Maharaj for expertly encouraging us to give up our laziness in fighting against our ego.

  9. Struggle to become humble… what a sublime goal! Have heard almost everyone talking about struggle to become rich, handsome, and proud, but very, very few who talk about struggling to become humble. Thank U Radhanath Swami for sharing this idea with us!

  10. Beautifully put! If we want to achieve anything worthwhile in this world we have to be willing to go through the pains needed to succeed.
