Yes that is the point. If endeavors do not bring the desire success, in spiritual life, that means the person is not situated nicely in the proper varna or in the proper asram and is not following Srila Prabhupada's basic instructions. I remember when HH Indradyumna Swami was Temple President in New-Mayapura, about 15 years ago, for a couple of years, He had so much trouble there; even though he was so fixed up and tried so hard to encourage everybody on that project, to the extent that he got really sick at one point. But when He started His Preaching Tour in the east He got so much success. Krsna immediately reciprocated with his pure and honest endeavors, because he situated himself nicely, according to his asram, and he followed seriously Srila Prabhupada's basic instructions. That is why he was so successful and is still. I humbly think a lot of sannyasi should take example from him and surrender to their asram situation and to the duties that are linked to it. Thank you for your valuable input. Your servant in Prabhupada's mission, Krsna-kirtana dasi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
