imported_yasodanandana Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 because it is not so easy, we have, in our past, some years of devotional practices and a incredibly huge quantity of lifes spent in materialism and sense gratification. Add to this that maya is actually krsna with his supreme intelligence and strategy, and you'll have the complete picture.. be happy.. you are chanting hare krsna so you are saved.. it is only a question of time to realize it and live in bliss go on associating with devotees and pray krsna to be blessed by a pure uttama adhikari spiritual master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumedh Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 We have no choice other than to cultivate patience, complete faith in the words of Spiritual Masters and other senior devotees who assure us that it will go away (i.e. Krishna will drive it away) in due course of time. After having developed strong affinity for material lust for billions of billions of lifes giving some years (or even lifetimes) for attaining that position should not count as much ...
