స్వామి కృష్ణానంద సూక్తి

It is poor, empty souls that require respect from other people. A great being does not expect respect, or even a good word of thanks from anybody. The smaller you are, the more you expect respect from other people. The larger you are, the less you would like to be recognized. Who will recognize you? You are yourself complete in yourself. And if you trust really the presence of God – not merely treat it as a word in the scripture, and not something that you have heard from your Gurus – if you really trust it and plant that feeling in yourself, you will wonder at the miracles taking place in your own life.
