(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 15 January 2013, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Srimad Bhagavatam 4.31.2)
We have to deepen our conviction because the more we deepen our conviction, the stronger we get. Part of our conviction comes from dedication to guru and faith in guru – when there is no doubt about it that my guru is a resident of the spiritual world. He is not a resident of this material world, he is simply spending his time with Krsna. That’s it and nothing else! That is what it’s all about, life for Krsna and that is Krsna consciousness.
But we are a little shallow and we don’t want to really make such a drastic change where we don’t want to give up our egocentric approach to life. Even in Krsna consciousness, we are desperately trying to maintain our egocentric way of life. It is funny how we are practicing Krsna consciousness and the same time sabotaging it, due to our minds… sabotaging it, trying to cut corners to get out of it, trying to make it lighter!
But in one moment, we need to just stop and get very serious about Krsna consciousness. It is worth it. Krsna consciousness is worth it and nothing else is worth it
