Patience, humility and respect, by Haripada dasa
Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada always said that in this world of ignorance, which is contrary to serving God or Krishna, full of trials and tribulations, only patience, humility and respect for others are our friends to do devotional service to God or Krishna and His representatives.
About patience I am very clear that only people who live in the mode of goodness can have it, people who live in the modes of passion and ignorance cannot be patient. Srila Prabhupada also speaks of this quality in the Nectar of Instruction, verse 3.
On humility, Srila Prabhupada says the Gita, 13, 8 that humility means that one should not be anxious to have the satisfaction of being honored by others. Another point is that although one can do wonderful things to please God or Krishna and Srila Prabhupada, one understands that this is all pure mercy of God or Krishna and Srila Prabhupada.
About respect there is a very beautiful verse in the Bhagavatam, 5, 5, 26, this verse was spoken by the incarnation of Krishna called Risabadeva to his children, there he says that dear children of mine, you should not be envious of any living entity, nor mobile Not even. Knowing that I am in them, they should offer respect to all at all times. In that way, you will offer Me respect.
