Srila Sripada Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Maharaja

Quote of the day…

Orissa, India

“The self becomes self-effulgent by knowledge, by practice of knowledge or by purification. Just like gold that is available in ore, when it is purified then it becomes very shiny. Similarly, when the soul is free from the influence of material nature in the form of kama, lobha and krodha, when it is completely free from this material influence then the self will become self-effulgent, meaning it will shine, it will produce all of the qualities of the pure soul.”
