Dandavats and obeissances.

Dear Nava prabhu,
Thank you for sharing your mind with us, it takes a lot of courage to share these things. We must always remember that all these unwanted things can only affect our temporary gross and subtle bodies, but they can in no way hamper You, the spiriti soul,who is always transcendental and unattached.  All the pains and sufferings we experience in life are caused by misdeeds we have caused to others previously. Actually the pain we experience is much less than what we deserve, we just get a tiny sample. The more we identify with the mind or body then the more acutely these pains and discomforts feel. We have caused countless distresses to other living entities throughout our lives, and the Lord purifies us by giving us distresses in turn. This is the greatest mercy of the Lord, we must accept that everything we get in this life, we deserve and should thank God.
In my opinion you have no problems other than identifying with body and mind too much, this is the problem for everyone in the material world but at least you are on the path to guaranteed success.
Lately I have been trying to do at least 2 hours sankirtana everyday. I watch with Guruji's videos and chant along. Know for certain that all of our thinking on deep subjects, either devotional or mundane, can never be productive without chanting the holy names. We must force ourselves to engage in sankirtana every day for a good amount of time. Guruji has many good videos to sing along with and watch his videos. There is nothing as powerful as sankirtana:

harer nama harer nama
harer namaiva kevalam
kalau nasty eva nasty eva
nasty eva gatir anyatha

Many days when I start singing I feel stiff and akward but as I continue on I feel more natural and my anarthas start to lift. It is our own mind and other harmful living entities(visible or invisible) that try to keep us from chanting and singing the holy names of God. We must must must follow the Lord's order and engage in chanting his glories. He assures us all of our problems will leave and our identification with our bodies and minds will lessen and gradually we will clear ourselves of material misidentifications. Everyone cares for you here at the Nitaai Sangha and wants to see you achieve the ultimate success of being reinstated in your constitutional position as eternal servant of the Lord. Know for certain that we are all pulling for you and that you have all our support and confidence.
The only solution to our problems is chanting and singing the names of the Lord, even the Lord says so......There is no other way, There is no other way, There is no other way

Sincerely
Jagannatha Gauranga dasa
