Arguments?

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krsna
I had one conversation and I just want to share some "arguments" that were placed before me regarding my spiritual life. Please help me to answer and act correctly. Your answers will also help many others devotees that may find themselves in simmilar situations.

"arguments":

1. It is not posiable for us westeners to fully absorb vaisnava culture and behaviour. There are too many examples of western born devotees, swamis and gurus that leaved this process. How many disciples of Srila Prabhupada are still here? Dont fool yourself that you can live in India and go to Swami! We are not mentaly and phisicaly fit for such way of living.  Your attempts are just poor imitations.

2. You are practicing spiritual life because you are not materially succesful like others. You are only feed your Ego with this!

3. Practicing  of your "spiritual activities" are just excuses for neglecting your material duties, family  etc. Grhasthas must live family life, and you are acting like that you are in renounced way of life. Better earn some money!

4. You have some theoretical knowledge but no practical knowledge. For indian born devotees it is natural to live devotional-style life, we are born here (western countries) and should act according to that. Dont try to become what you are not meant to be!

Your servant, Ishana Thakura das
