Self Compassion



The other day I came across something on the internet about self-compassion. Knowing this to be an important and relevant topic for us, I decided to write an article on it. I hope this helps you, or at least gives you enough insight into the nature of self-compassion so you can help another devotee who may benefit from being kinder to themselves.

May you always think of Krsna.

Like ourselves, spiritual practitioners of all traditions have high ideals, and this can cause us to be upset

Thought Of The Day

Prabhupada: So where is the difficulty to understand Krsna? (laughs) Every moment you can remember Krsna. Every moment you can see Krsna, provided you have got eyes. Premanjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santah sadaiva hrdayesu vilokayanti [Bs. 5.38]. Santah. So you have to become a santah, perfect santa. Then you'll see Krsna always.

 

By H.D.G. Srila Prabhupada
