Somewhere on the middle way

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna!

Spiritual life is not easy. Especially when one is somewhere on the middle way. One is still not able to fully dive into the transcendental sphere and one cannot neither jump back into one's former material life style. One is like that lonely cloud described in the Bhagavad Gita. It is flying in the sky. It took on a great risk. If it manages to join a bigger cloud, Guru and Gauranga, it is saved. If it doesn't it, it will perish...

For one who had made the decision of undergoing the process of self-surrender to the Absolute Truth, there is actually no way back. After acquiring and partly realizing the knowledge of the senslessness of a life without devotion to the Lord, one cannot anymore fully relish an ordinary material life, based on sense-gratification.

One is thus trying to get the nectar from another source. The soul is hankering for love nectar and its nature is to drink it more and more. One can only sincerely pray to the Lord for this nectar, for the opportunity of drinking it in the association of His pure devotees. Otherwise it will be become quite dry and discouraging remaining in such vague position...
