The essence of Hinduism is the same essence of all true religions: Bhakti or pure love for God and genuine compassion for all beings.
Humility is a natural symptom of those who love God.
The more you feel you are fallen; the more you fall in love with God.
To be in the association of those aspiring to love God is the ultimate gift of God.
Pure love of God is our nature, but we are so much diverted, so much distracted by the externals that we've forgotten that it's our essence.
