Hare Krishna 

Please receive my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I want to start this letter with a big and enthusiastic THANK YOU! I am very grateful for your response to my previous letter, a few things were removed from my mind that needed to be cleared up and I was only certain of that after reading your response.

Thank you for your effort and taking the time to do so, I really admire everything you do for us, it is incredible.

HpS - When you become a Granny you will do the same. 😎

I also understood how fortunate I am to have your instructions, your association, and the opportunity to perhaps perform some service for you. I appreciate the advice and goodwill of Maharaja Bhakti Prabhupada Damodar, I admit that I was quite ungrateful and proud, I am very sorry.

Now I understand that I had to change my mindset and recognize that I am being guided by you to be able to get closer to Krishna, I am very fortunate, what have I done to receive such a blessing?

HpS - Maybe from last life! Maybe just mercy!!

I’ve continued to read your previous reply from time to time because the words are few but they contain a lot of wisdom and perhaps at present I am not able to appreciate your teachings 100%.

I want to ask you 3 questions, they are simple:

1. The longer we spend "apart" from Krishna, is it more difficult to recall or revive the desire to be with him? HpS - No. Material time has no meaning in relation to Krsna. You can be mean, and cruel, and selfish in just a moment or for 1,000 years. He is waiting for you to come back and play with Him and everybody.
2. Is the separation we feel from Krishna an illusion, is it like a dream? HpS - Basically yes, but as we read SB, CC etc it becomes more clear.
3. Do we really as souls continue with Krishna only that we are "distracted"? HpS - If you mean are we having our own personal relation with Krsna even while we are in this world, then I would say, "Yes", but yes, we are distracted by His external energy. It is like the Cat forgets that he is playing with you when you shake the yarn in from of him.

Excuse me if my questions are elementary but I feel that listening to it or reading it from you helps me to trust and keep that answer faithfully in my heart.

Thanks for reading me.
