Gratitude - Bad Dreams

Dear Maharaja Hanumat Presaka Swami,

Please accept my humble obeisances  All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Was a great Gaura-Prnima  at ISV and we even got to help Hamsa-Priya dd in her new ashram.

A frantic note of thanks for the Prabhupada Journal book, apologies for rabid gratitude, getting closer to closing out Modesto and it’s getting to my tiny brain.

Have even been getting strange dreams, believe some of the gates to this vehicle have been compromised, regardless keep on chanting and practicing the principles. Just have to be even more aware of sense gratifications, seems the mind wants more while I need less. Years of work seem violated in some aspects.

 Anyway, steady as she goes and keep on course!

All glories to your service. Your servant in training,

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP paoho. Yes, because of the birth we have taken and the lives we have lived we will not be able to stop thinking about sense gratification and sometimes, that may spill into bad dreams. Of course, we can agitate that Karma by lots of vegetarian tacos and carmel burfi late at night, but even without that we may get night pollution.

Boing!

Even more strange Prabhupada says that a devotee should not be too worried by inauspicious dreams because sometimes Krsna sees that we have material desires (have sex with your mother), but rather than having us take a gross birth to experience this (a bull) then he lets us experience it in a dream and we can reject the experience righ there without having to take another birth.

In any case, lets go forward.

Deal with moving like dealing with dying.

Take what you can, need, and leave the rest.
