How to distinguish between Supersoul and our mind?

12 years, 1 month ago by pnd in Other

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Sometimes doubts can appear, if what I am doing is best possibility, or if process I am using is better than other way of doing it.
 
Sometimes I have urge to make huge changes, which can mean to through away hundreds of hours of work for idea of better way to do that thing, which may or may not be better way. It can apply to all different areas of the life (service, work, relationships).
 
I found not so much helpful to ask devotees as different devotees can have completely oposite opinions, same time I don't want to take time of yours unless is some of life decissions.
 
How we can be sure what Krsna wants us to do in such situations?
 


How one can distinguish what is voice of Supersoul and what is just our inteligence/mind or weekness

Thank you,
Your servant

HpS - ASA -  Jaya!   AGTSP    paoho.    I would first just think of Arjuna. He was basing his plans on his mental application of the scriptures, and the result was that he was unhappy.   So, there is the first simple answer it seems.  If we are like Arjuna we will be unhappy.   That is Krsna's mercy.  Then we look for Guru, like Arjuna, and ask him for advice.  He gives us a friendly knock up aside the ahead, like Narada to Vyasa, SB 1.5 or Krsna to Arjuna, "He, Pandita",  "He, Rabbi" and then gives us advice.  We ask more questions and in the end it is clear (17 chapters).

So, I would advise that you write to th Blog and get the opinion of us, HpS, and Monkey  -  Piggy  -  Uncl Gismo and any body else, consult with a few sane devotees. If it is a really strange plan then the fact that you get very diferent answers will indicate there there is NO clear answer and so you should look for a more practical plan.  Then Chant good rounds, Sadhana, and Krsna can personally give you inspiration in your intelligence (BG 10.10-11).
