You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
A leader must be established in higher values, and be able to communicate her vision to the people. A leader must have impeccable character and be above reproach. She must be dedicated to the welfare of the people, not be driven by self-interest!
Only by devotional service is the Supreme Truth, Krishna, pleased, and by His inconceivable energy. He can reveal Himself to the heart of the pure devotee.
If a man considers that he is born, he cannot avoid the fear of death. Let him find out if he has been born or if the Self has any birth. ...Find from where thoughts emerge. Then you will be able to abide in the ever-present inmost Self and be free from the idea of birth or the fear of death.
