I want to only realize KRSNA. Whether others criticize us or praise us,
whether we gain wealth or lose it, whether the body remains healthy or
not, whether we are alive or we die, but
we will remain immovable and unshakable on this decision.
The attractions and aversion in the world are like a maze. This is
good, this is not good - in this the man becomes so lost that it is difficult
from him to get out of the maze. Therefore to get out of it, make one firm determination that I will only walk the path
towards KRSNA. I do not want any
attraction for the world, nor do I want to have any hatred towards it.
In front of us favorable and unfavorable situations have come many
times and they have gone away. It is only our delusion that if we get such a
family, then we will be benefited, if we get such a wife then it will be great;
if we get that much wealth then we will be gratified; if we get this higher
position, then we will be contented etc. Has no one found a favorable wife? Has
no one found a proper son? Has no one found a favorable situation? Then too
have they become free of desires and realized KRSNA? Whoever has received these
favorable things, their desires have not ended. He has not become free of
acquiring more. Therefore it is impossible for anyone to be benefited by these situations. You firmly
decide on that one goal, one aim of KRSNA Realization, then favorable situations
will run after you.
