The Right Perspective
'If you do not have money, it is not a problem—you can just serve with some water and Tulasi and keep Lord Krishna in your heart. Unfortunately, however, you get some happiness and, enjoying with that, you forget Krishna.'

 

      

Simple living, high thinking—what is necessary for your life, that is sufficient for you.
