---------------------------

....There but for the grace of God (and His devotees) go I.

1) along with the need for deep fulfilling friendships between devotees

2) is a challenging service,

3) a personal mission,

4) a clear focus of what one is doing in life/ both preaching and lifestyle.

5) hear + chant/ memorise the specific nectar that sustains one's attraction

for the spiritual world.

6) such topics must be carefully chosen to steal the mind and transport it

to the dhama.

7) additionally one should by following the instructions of the previous

acharyas, investigate/ and fully understand the anarthas which plague and

prevent one from attaining the taste for the spiritual world.

8) with a view to attaining 5-7, one should bond with a like minded devotee

and help them to hear and chant similarly (see sb 3.25.25), (12.12.48)

12.12.50, madhya 25.278, adi.13.123

9) both such topics (nectar as well as specific anartha nivriti) should be

heard even for a few minutes a day will sustain and motivate one's efforts.

10) Simply maintaining a flock is likely to be less enlivening

11) than reaching out to bring Krishna consciousness to nondevotees.

 

SP in 1975 to new talavan devotees

 

12) Remain enthusiastic,

13) Be confident of success,

14) Follow the regulative principles,

15) Be straight forward,

16) Keep the association of devotees,

17) Be patient,

18) Do not become morose,

19) And Krsna will surely help you.
