Hare krsna Oh Pravijakacharya.

deliverer of the fallen soul.
 

we aspired to get discplined by you, follow you, even though we had such desire we are not able to. our current sadhana is 16/3, once a week mangal arti/one chapter of SB a week. hence we are failing again and again to even become formal aspirant..

We found some thing of related to our condition in SB 1.5.24

Without being self-controlled, without being disciplined and without being fully obedient, no one can become successful in following the instructions of the spiritual master, and without doing so, no one is able to go back to Godhead.

 
To obey spiritual master we need three things [1] self control [2] discipline [3] obedience.. after introspection we understood we have none on practical level , though we have desire to have all ,but again and again we fail. We dont know how much we should depend on the cause less mercy of Guru Parampara.

but is there any way to achieve these three things esp when we are in dark well without any trainer/ authority ? is our understanding correct ?
we are sorry again that we wasted so much of your valuable time , took instruction even though we did not have the 3 mentioned qualities..
 
regards,
harsh
 
        HpS - ASA - We all have superficial and deep attachments. One is attached to sex, another power, another mental speculation, another meat-fish-eggs, another wine,another...   Just keep using your intelligence to expand whatever austerity you are doing... It's that simple - You are on a path where there is no loss or diminuition, but keep making progress in the areas where you are stronger and you will see the other areas diminish, diminish. Make conquering your vices a practical project eg. "I will not eat onion and garlic on Sunday!"
