Things not always go as expected in spiritual life. This is a book describing challenges that devotees commonly face in spiritual practice and how to recognize them before they stall our progress.
Hare Krishna Prabhuji, this book is going to be especially helpful for me and certainly many other devotees too. As an absolutely blind and proud person, this book will really help me keep to this blessed path. I have no offline contact with any devotee. I am completely new. Many articles by you seemed to have reached me just at the right time. Please bless me Prabhu, such that I may humbly stick to this path.
Hare Krishna Prabhuji, I feel very fortunate to have come across this book. It appeared at a time when I was carrying many questions in my heart but did not know where to find clear answers. As I started reading, I felt as if the book was addressing my personal thoughts and doubts. Thank you so much for sharing this treasure.
I'm publishing in India through Pothi, just like the previous two books, but they are a little slow. It should be available in about one week Prabhu. The idea is to gradually have all the books available. On Amazon I'm using their POD system, it is available for the US, Europe, Australia, Canada, etc. but not for India and other countries.
Amazing write up.. the reality has come up so well.
Just few points that I would like to highlight.
I've been practicing Krsna consciousness for nearly 30 years and all that I have observed is that we're trying to stimulate the feelings of Krsna consciousness, specially while chanting, considering that these feelings are real spiritual ecstasies. This is done by us consciously or unconsciously, specially while we're chanting..
Being attached to one's selfish nature, hardly are we conscious of doing anything for the Supreme Lord.
Alongside, we may pick up many devotional services, but these could be just some forms of selfish gratificatory pleasures which are not actually done for Krsna, but for ourselves. It's a good thing for sure to keep ourselves engaged however, we should upgrade and truly do it for the Lord, rather than keep ourselves even attached to the service, specially when it comes to sacrificing for fellow peer devotees and is done for their pleasure in cooperation.
We become obsessed to a particular activity, calling it seva or service, but when it comes to giving up that activity in replacement for another service, we're not interested.
All along, we've lost the main emotion or intent of doing it for the Lord.
More important that emotion is the INTENT.
Emotions may fade over time, but intent is a conscious momentary decision or choice to do everything for the Lord, within which emotions can fructify. Emotions yet shouldn't be the goal since we may be hovering on mental gratification, rather than being conscious of the Lord's pleasure.
