Becoming steady

Hare Krishna,
As we are in the material world, where practically everyone is forgetful of Krishna, we can be easily overcome by the modes of material nature due to bad association. And as you have explained in your email, this forgetfulness leads us away from devotional service and constant remembrance of Krishna and our true spiritual nature. So we must constantly practice bringing our renegade mind back under the control of our spiritual self. This is most easily accomplished by absorption in chanting the maha mantra
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare
Lord Caitanya, Krishna's manifestation in the guise of a devotee, has introduced this chanting as the means of deliverance in this fallen age, and there are not hard and fast rules. Anywhere, at any time, we can take advantage of this chanting to curb our material thoughts and desires and remember our eternal loving relationship with Lord Krishna.
So please take advantage of this simple formula and your your life will become successful. As you become more and more spiritualized by this chanting your spiritual life will blossom and all mundane thought will vanish as fog is dissipated by the radiant sun.
Sincerely,
Dulal Chandra dasa
