Overcoming petty weaknesses of the heart and becoming strong in our resolve to be 'fixed up devotees' means watering the soul with regular and quality sadhana.
How refreshing it is when we actually curl up with one of Srila Prabhupada's books and read for the sake of reading.
Makes us realise how nice it is to read and also wonder why we ever neglect it in the first place.
Each day we have to consciously make the decision to choose Krsna over Maya.
Until we get to the pure spontaneous level of devotion we have to make this concerted effort to choose Krsna.
This is not just in our daily reading material or our japa but in all aspects of our lives.
When we are talking to devotees do we choose Krsna and ensure the talking does not descend to gossip, criticism, & mocking other devotees?
Are we actively looking to raise our consciousness and our colleagues consciousness to Krsna Consciousness or wallowing in the dirt of the three modes of nature?
When we carry out our services do we remember that it is all for Krsna or do we think we are the ultimate 'doer'?
Krsna Consciousness is such a life changing process - life changing in that it will change our current material life forever - and yet we have to reciprocate with the Lord's mercy all the way by choosing Krsna .... choosing Krsna ... choosing Krsna.
How appropriate then that tomorrow is Lord Nityananda's appearance day.
He is the most merciful and actually comes to choose us ... and help us ... even if we are weak willed and don't always remember and serve Him.
So fortunate to be able to share in His appearance day tomorrow.
Lets all choose to remember dear Nitai tomorrow and in this way be blessed !
