Spiritual weaklings.......................Nectarean Mellows
So once again, what are your ideals? What is your motivation? If you don’t eat you will be weak. Yes? If you don’t eat properly nourishing foods, then you will be weak. Like Gary is a physical fitness trainer and people come to his Malibu gym to get trained. Now what happens if someone is starving? How much could they actually work? How much could they build their bodies? Gary will tell them the types of food they will have to eat, the nutrition, by which they will get strength to do it properly. Yes? So spiritually, we need food. Otherwise we may have big bodies, and we may have acute intelligence to do business but spiritually we are just feeble weaklings. Yes? That’s what most big people are today. They are just feeble weaklings. Maya, with one finger, just pushes them and they give in to greed, they give in to envy and they give in to their selfish passion and motivations and they give in to their lust. They are just spiritual weaklings. They are starving. And the saintly person will pity such an ignorant fool although the world is bowing at their feet as being great. Yes? So what I’m saying is, we need food to have strength and that strength will give us the proper perception and what is the food we need? Offering prayers; chanting God’s names; hearing the truth; associating with saintly persons; doing proper puja with the proper state of consciousness - these are all spiritual practices that are like food, especially hearing and chanting in the association of saintly persons. It gives us food, it gives us strength in which we can maintain our spiritual, moral and ethical integrity under all circumstances and we are fixed in our goal. And everyone can do that.

Humility is not just a part of devotional service; it is the heart of devotional service.
To see a Vaishnava and not become happy is an offence. – Skand Puran
It is important to remind ourselves that at the end of the day, all we really have is each other.
