A person who is humble, has some realization of God whereas a proud person has limited understanding about God. The Lord is unlimited, while the spirit soul is infinitesimal. As a result, the spirit soul has a little capacity to understand the unlimited features of the Lord.
For instance, when Arjuna saw the universal form of Lord Krishna, he considered himself insignificant. Therefore, we find that great personalities always think less about themselves.
If we want to call out for the mercy and witness the unlimited glory of God, we have to be humble. This way we can progress in life.

Hari bol. To call out for holy name requires humility. Very nice conclusion.
Unless we are humble we cannot cry with geniuneness that will reach God!
Radhanath Swami beautifully concludes:
“If we want to call out for the mercy and witness the unlimited glory of God, we have to be humble”
Very good post.
Keep working, wonderful job! Exactly what I had to have.
If we simply stick to what Radhanath Swami instructs us for our own benefilts, we can easily sail through this material ocean of nescience.
maharaj always tells us to be humble if v want to attract the lords mercy.Thank you maharaj for this inctruction.
so true. whenever we are in touch with maharaj-reading, hearing, seeing we are on the spiritual highway, flying above the ground avoiding accidents, nearing God steadily.
Thank you maharaj, all involved in thiese projects for everything
The more we try to understand God, the more we realize that the Lord is great and we are too insignificant. Radhanath Swami ki Jai.
A nice understanding why one should be bumble?
HH Radhanath Swami points out that we have to accept that there is always a greater power than ourselves, no matter how great we think we are, there is Krishna who is greater
radhanath swami maharaj always gives important to humility
Radhanath Swami teaches us a key lesson: that without humility one cannot attract or access the mercy of God.
His words give meaning to the words: God CONSCIOUSNESS. A humble state of consciousness that motivates and underlies one’s words, thoughts and actions is an essential ingredient to cultivate in the heart. Just like you cannot have a delicious cake without the flour ingredient!
Humility being a natural quality of the soul gives real meaning to all we do, because it is the attitude which pleases God the most. Through humility one is connected to God, and through pride one becomes disconnected.
Real spirituality is not just about what we do in a place of worship…be it a temple, church, mosque…it’s about what we are doing everyday, everywhere, with whoever we are with…at every moment, with a constant mood of humility.
There is no greater inspiration than to see a real life of example of humility-in-action, love-in-action, forgiveness-in-action, fearlessness-in-action.
We may hear or read that it is possible to gain access to a million pounds but if we can see someone get it and learn how they did it, we can know how to achieve such a goal ourselves.

Maharaj, this had been your first instruction to us – to be humble and this has been instruction always to all of us in almost all of your lectures. I pray to Krishna that we always strive to follow this one instruction of yours and that will help us perfect our lives.
Thank You Maharaj.
Yes very true. Reading bonafide scriptures on opulences of the Lord, should at first humble us. Vedas and other bonafide scriptures like the Bible and the Koran, are not meant for intellectual excercize, but to submissively inquire about the true purpose of life.
