Frustrated with my situation, please help !
October 09 , 2007
Hare Krishna.
Thank you so much for writing to the Live Help service here at Krishna.com, we truly appreciate the opportunity to serve you by providing guidance based upon Lord Krishna's personal "live help" as coming to us through His bona-fide disciplic succession.
I was very concerned after reading your email and would like to offer the following advice based upon Arjuna's similar situation before the battle of Kuruksetra. Krishna's external potency, His material energy, deludes us in so many ways if we are not careful to always remember our true spiritual nature and position. As long as we continue to accept this body as our self and attempt to find pleasure in this material world, we will be forever deluded and confused. We must continually work to advance ourselves spiritually, knowing that we are eternally Lord Krishna's servant and are not meant to suffer in His deluding potency due to misidentification with these material bodies.
I humbly beg that you take up a determined effort to take shelter at Krishna's lotus feet by absorbing yourself in the process of devotional service. This process begins by hearing from Lord Krishna and His pure devotees. Regularly, on a daily basis, read Bhagavad-gita As It Is and chant a fixed number of Hare Krishna Maha Mantra's.
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare
This determined effort on your part will very quickly drive away all these useless thought that are troubling you, for Krishna assures us of His shelter if we follow this authorized process.
As you take up this process a remarkable transformation will begin and gradually to will come to the level of full renunciation (sannyasa) you spoke of in your email. In the beginning it is recommended that we gradually adopt a Krishna conscious lifestyle, not renounce all of a sudden, this assures our steady progress to the ultimate goal of complete absorption in spiritual practice.
Rest assured all your prayers will be answered as you daily associate with Krishna through His instructions in Bhagavad-gita and your meditation on His holy names.
Wishing you all the best, I remain
