Guest guest Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 It's the nature of the mind to play diversionary tricks when one is trying to realize Krishna. Just when the aspiring devotee thinks that he is becoming free from all material desires he becomes shocked to discover that his mind is feverish with material desire. Such experiences are very humbling, but if taken in the proper mood they pave the way to rapid advancement on the road to pure devotional service. In this situation one must honestly admit to himself the unpleasant reality that he is still materially attached and pray to his spiritual master and Lord Sri Krishna to save him from this hellish mental fever. The devotee must detach himself from all forms of material sense gratification and absorb himself 100% in the mood of pure devotional service. If he seriously endeavors in this way depending fully on the mercy of guru and Krishna, he will soon pass out the mental storm and enter the clear sky of pure devotional service. Then and only then will he be fully satisfied. Sankarshan Das Adhikari -- At the present moment our minds are polluted with the dirt accumulated over millions and millions of lifetimes of sense gratification. Even though our original pure nature is eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss, due to our mental contamination we are presently suffering in the realm of temporality, ignorance, and misery. By the purificatory process of chanting the holy names of God we can revive our original, pure nature and thus relish the sweetest happiness at every minute.
