Kṛṣṇa says to study spiritual literature regularly. By regularly studying scriptural literature, these ideas go again and again into our brain. Consequently, we acquire the courage to experiment and live the truth. Take up any truth and practice it at least a few times. For example, dont continuously function based on the idea ‘me, me, me.’ Instead try the idea ‘you, you, you.’ Try that at least ten times and see the effect in your life. If it does not work out, you throw can it away, it’s up to you, but at least try it out ten times. You will get a glimpse of the truth expressed by Kṛṣṇa.

Intellectuals have two weapons: words and logic. They can be helpful teaching tools if properly used or they can be frightening weapons. It is up to us to choose how to use them: whether in the mode of ignorance, aggression or goodness. Truth is a reflection of compassion. Truth is an expression of compassion. Truth and compassion always go together. For that reason, truth can never hurt.
