<big>Dear Gurumaharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to your grace.</big>

<big>In my meditation on gita chapter 12 i ran into a difficulty. Mother Urmila's explanation of the bhakti path in 12.8 - 9 - 10 is that in 10 the focus is on working for Krishna to attain peace, in 9 it is trying to fix the peaceful mind on Krishna (abhyasa-yoga) in order to get the desire for Krishna, and 8 is raganuga (as mentioned by Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur). </big>

<big>If i'm not being karma-yoga-oriented, i find myself on level 10. The idea is that i should work for Krishna. Krishna is my boss. He is the proprietor. My difficulty lies in how i feel towards property. When i worked in the office, i had a computer, which was for me, but not mine. That i could feel as not mine. I had a different relationship with that computer as with household stuff that i have bought with earned money. That does feel like it is mine. Or at least, there is a different relationship. Now my inquiry is this. How can i work in the mood of not being the proprietor if i actually do feel like that? To put it in another way, how do i get to the point of feeling things aren't mine, but Krishna's property. Perhaps i'm overcomplicating simple matters, and all these things can be solved by prayer and Krishna's mercy. </big>

<big>AGTSP - By regular Deity worship. Have Deity of Krsna in your house or Temple and then connect everything with Him. When you buy new clothes put them in front of the Deity and say, "We have these new clothes for your servants, are they correct?".</big>

<big>And He will say, "Little fancy aren't they??"</big>

<big>And you will say, "Yes, its a fact", and take them back and get something a little more appropriate.</big>

<big>The regular process of Diety worship is essential in the neophte and grhastha stages and it works!!</big>

<big>I hope you are doing well, both physically and spiritually.</big>

<big>Your servant,
Raghava-pandita dasa</big>
