Just like a gardener, when he sees weeds in his garden uproots them

with his hands and tools, so similarly the devotee who is watching

over his tender creeper of devotion should immediately uproot the

nasty weeds grown from material desires as soon as he sees them

sprouting.

 

This means that we have to carefully uproot the weeds. The process of

hearing SB and chanting Hare Krsna will give us all the strength

required to uproot the weeds and will remove most of the weeds as

well, but it is our responsibility to actually do the work to remove

the remaining weeds with our own efforts. If we see that we are not

acting properly, then we should change the way we act. If we see that

we have made mistakes in relation to others then we should correct

this by asking for forgiveness and not doing the same mistakes again.

 

We should be vigilant and watch out for our bad qualities surfacing so

that we can always be a serene and peaceful Vaisnava full of good

qualities. Careful and vigilant self-criticism is essential in

spiritual life.
