Well, if "you know" its wrong, and try to force yourself that "it is right",

then you may have a problem, of course. Usually, when you see something

wrong, you need to work on that, either change yourself or change others. If

you just leave it, hoping that it will go away, it will eat you alive. When

we see problem, we should be aware, that the intelligence and rememberance

to perceive this problem was given by Krishna. Nothing happens by chance,

and there is a good possibility, if Krsna sends something, that it is most

useful for us and/or for others. In any case we better put it out, expose it

to the mercy of other devotees. Sometimes we will adjust our understanding,

and sometimes other will benefit from our association, and be able to adjust

their understanding. Thats enlightening one another in the preliminary stage

of devotional service, when we relish the transcendental pleasure from the

service itself, because we are not yet actually situated in love of God.

A special kind of bliss comes from knowing, that what you are doing, is

exactly as Srila Prabhupada wanted it to be. And we are after that pleasure,

naturally, especially while we are not able to gain pleasure from being

twenty-four hours daily engaged in glorifying the qualities and pastimes of

the Supreme Lord.
