There is no cause for anxiety.

[Guest guest]

I am in due receipt of your letter dated December 10, 1972, and I am very

much disturbed to hear from you that you have become disturbed in your mind.

Do not be disturbed. There is no cause for anxiety. You are doing your best

to serve Krishna, that is very much appreciated, so do not lose enthusiasm

out of frustration, that will spoil everything. Krishna Consciousness means

we should always be satisfied and happy, not that we must work something

impossible, becoming overburdened, and then because we are unhappy by so

much trouble we lose enthusiasm altogether and give up all hope. No, if too

much endeavour is there, that is to be avoided. By all means we must

preserve our spiritual status, that is the point, not that we are mad after

big buildings, many devotees, life-members, this, that--no, these are only

ways to engage the devotees so that they may apply the principles of

devotional living to some kind of work for practical realization of these

principles. It is not the result of the work we want. If only one person

daily, if we sincerely preach to such one person in a day, that is

sufficient, never mind big, big programmes. So my request to you is that you

do not be bothered by these things, and I have instructed Tamala Krishna and

Syamasundara. to send you men, so they will do it, rest assured. Krishna

does not like to see His sincere devotee suffer or become frustrated or

depressed. He will not stand idly by in any such case, so do not fear on

that account. Krishna has got some plan for you, always think in that way,

and very soon He will provide everything to your heart's desire.

(Then in Srila Prabhupada's next letter to Tejiyas Prabhu he told him to

make many, many life members.)

 

Actually you may take this opportunity of being situated at Delhi to make

every Parliamentary member our life member also. You can get the list of

addresses and systematically approach each and every member of Parliament to

become our member also. So many big big lawyers, doctors, government

ministers, professional men are there in Delhi, I think more than any other

city of India, and they are all intelligent men, they can be easily

recruited for life member by simply showing the books and requesting them to

kindly help us in this way. So make many, many life members amongst this

class of men, that will be your great contribution.
