How humble and tolerant
Bhakti Caru Swami: We were living in Srila Prabhupada’s servants’ quarters on the top floor of the tower in Juhu, Bombay. One day a senior God-brother was annoyed with me and was chastising me heavily. I was quite sensitive, and I was feeling bad that he chastised me. When I went to Srila Prabhupada, Prabhupada said, “The sign of one’s spiritual advancement is not the big position one has. The real sign of advancement is how humble and how tolerant one has become.” That instruction took away all my heaviness of heart. I often remember that instruction. The sign of our advancement is not in our position but in how humble and tolerant we have become.
