Four Principles of Community Building
1. Treat everyone you encounter as if the success or failure of your
spiritual life depends on the quality of your interactions with them.
2. Think of the personyou love the most and aspire to treat everyone
with that same quality of love.
3.View all conflicts as your own fault first.
4.Realize that people in your present environment might very well be
the people with whom you will live out your life and who are likely to
be with you at the time of death. - His Holiness Bhakti Tirtha Swami
The Four Principles of Balance
1. Place more emphasis on having loving Vaishnava relationships. See
all interactions as a cry for love or an extension of love.
2.Go the extra mile to care for and protect women and children. The
Bhagavatam mentions that when elders, brahmanas, cows, women, and
children are not protected, not only does the individual who does not
protect them suffer, but the entire community suffers.
3.Keep a healthy balance between spiritual and material life, but make
sure the second supports the first.
4.Remain loyal to Srila Prabhupada's movement (to God, Sri Krishna)
but do not be sectarian. We remain loyal to Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON
but to respect all Vaishnavas, all persons, all living entities. - His
Holiness Bhakti Tirtha Swami
