What's sad is that if this beautiful soul came up to anyone of us on the street and tried to tell us this message without recognizing him. We would just pass him off as crazy and ignore him and get back to our busy lives and be our phones. This world needs more of him

Such genuine wisdom shared here... the best way to establish the spiritual connection is to understand that every living creature is the loving child of that supreme father. With that in mind it seems easy to treat every other living being may it be human or animal, as our own loving brother or sister. The Srimad Bhagvad Gita verse that he quotes is also serves the purpose of substantiating the wonderful knowledge that HH Radhanath Swami shares here.

I feel like listening to him again and again as his teachings really bring me back to focus. I really feel better spiritually connected as much as I absorb his teachings.
