My dear Tejiyas,

 

Please accept my blessings. 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.
