Re: Bliss and The Striving Body - my healing (please read)

Dear Mihir,

      Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! Do not worry about those things. Progress in Satya Yuga was far more difficult than it is today -- dhyana yoga. Of course maya will always be throwing obstacles in various forms, but if our purpose is strong nothing will happen to us. It is all simply different variations of maya at work. She keeps placing temptations and traps in our way to see if we have enough faith in guru and the Lord. She doesn't want even the last trace of impurity in devotional service.

       We must never lose our determination for anything. Why other living entities, a simple change of circumstances like the university examination is sometimes sufficient to throw all chanting off track!

       As far as I am concerned, I am my own biggest enemy and if I can strengthen my purpose, then almost all the main problems are solved. Naama sankirtana, expecially Nitaai Gaura naama is very powerful. Ultimately we face our own selves and we fight against our mind. You must understand that we are always our most formidable obstacle and if there is anything to fear, it is our own self. By the way, Dhruva Maharaj was not distracted by demigods at all, his penance made life unbearable for them.

Daaso'smi,
Srinath
