difficulty with others

[Guest guest]

One mistake of judgment often made by the neophyte devotees is that any time

there is some disturbance or some difficulty they are considering that the

conditions or the external circumstances under which the difficulty took

place are the cause of the difficulty itself. That is not the fact.

 

In this material world there is always some difficulty, no matter in this

situation or that situation. Therefore simply by changing my status of

occupation or my status of life, that will not help anything. Because the

real fact is that if there is any difficulty with others, that is my lack of

Krsna consciousness, not theirs. Is this clear?
