Govindaram Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Hare Krishna Taking up chanting, reading Gita, Bhagavatam, Listening to Lectures/Bhajans, filling your mind with these activities will make you disgusted with material gratification, also it just be noted that becoming arrogant that you have gave up these habits will not help, also the mind is strong so don't give it a chance, It can take time for some people to give-up, these habits, in my case it took time, there's no magic thing somebody can say to you, but to gain your GOAL of life (KRISHNA) you have to give-up these things, weigh them up in you mind, what's more important? You can give-up soon don't worry. Also good devotee association is essential, in the long run... -------------------- <font color="red"> Sri Radha-Krishna harinama is the cure </font color> (anti-virus) <font color="red"> criticizing is the disease </font color> (virus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yasodanandana Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 meet and stay with people with none of these bad habits, devotees for example and chant hare krishna avoiding more as possible all the offences, it is very important to continue to practice even if maya is saying "you are unqualified, your chant is useless if you do not follow regolative principles!! better to stop bothering krsna.." definitely no..... chanting is the goal and the medicine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Haribol! I have had the similar problems and yet im known as an elder devotee. When i gave up the idea that im the enjoyer and stopped thinking that the wordly pleasures are real pleasures, something started to happen. Then i also had to give up the idea that IM strong enough to stop my habits alone and without Krishna. One has to give this problem to Krishna and to the devotees. Then only one can sinserelly make some progress. Devotees have been praying for me and no i can feel its helping. I will pray for you and may Srila Prabhupada help you! bhaktinalice@.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
