Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva!!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to you, who open my eyes and protect me from ignorance.
Please accept my humble obeisances!
About the last letter, I couldn't avoid read about arrhythmias and I see that most arrhythmias can be harmless, but some can be serious.
I'm sorry but I can't avoid worry about this. Are you doing some treatment for that?
HpS - ASA -- Few years ago we had chance to have a general health review by Mother Guru-bhakti Dasi, who is doctor in Houston. We had a heart monitor hung around our neck for one day and she said that there were a few missed beats etc. but they were all from the top of the heart. The ones from the bottom of the heart are dangerous. I think she said that girls have ones from the top of the heart all the time when they 'fall in love'.
One morning they were really frequent, had to lie down. Went to NGD house later in the morning for regular association. Let him take our pulse. He said, "Hmm lots of arythymia. Try a little more salt at lunch". Did that and it went away completely.
In general seems to be stress etc. We have to live our age. Of course, we could have a cardiac arrest at any time. So could you. Be ready!
Did you see a doctor?? Because sometimes it can be inoffensive if the person is healthy... but sometimes not. It's depends of the type of arrhythmia.
Well, thanks for ask about me. I'm ok, but getting a rhythm between daily eating and sleeping and service is impossible for me hahaha.
My weeks never finish, always I have to do something and I feel good. I would feel better if I dont have to waste time sleeping and breathing when I chant japa... And I really think this!
Today I had the last class of ND and I realize that all the service that I do, maybe is not really service to Krsna, because while I do, my conscience Sometimes are not focused in Krsna. So it's karma yoga, not Bhakti yoga and all the time I generate more reactions, no? It's makes me think more about this. I am very pasional and this generate me stress because I don't take rest and while I do service I am thinking about all the other services that I have to do later. Maybe I need to meditate more in Krsna while I do service and I have to find some time to think in my behavior and assimilate theory that I'm studying with my practice.
HpS - ASA --- Aaacha! Very nice. NOD is like concentrated BG, SB, CC course. Rupa Goswami extracts the fast path. Yes, in the beginning we are doing Karma-misra-bhakti, no? It is Bhakti-yoga becasue we have some little taste of where we want to go, but really we are 'enjoying the service'. Krsna recommeds then in the Gita: You can sacrifice the results for me but you are setting the example of one who cannot yet sacrifice the mode of working. You have to do Ksatriya work for me. A lady has to do lady-work for Krsna, but as we begin to understand the logic of Bhakti-yoga, like this, then we come to Jnana-misra-bhakti-yoga. Even though it is not your Karma you can engage in the service by better inteligence. Then.... xxx-misra-bhakti-yoga.
What is "xxx"?
Following NOI 4!! Thank you so much! I will apply it. One of all anarthas that I have is that it's very difficult to see good qualities of the others. In fact, I have the tendency to do the opposite because it is that I do with myself. And devotees have great qualities!. I would love to can see just good qualities of devotees all the time.
How can I stay exigent with myself but not with the devotees?
HpS - See what service a devotee is doing and try to help them.
Yes, Online Vaisnava School is Param-padam Das :D
Trying to serve and follow your steps,
Bhktn Belen.

Picture: the best gift that a devotee gave me.
HpS - Image is too small and too dark to see on this "Letters to Answer" platform. Will try to see it after we post this Answer. Please give our respects to Maha-hari Das.
