My lord, surely I have been solidly cheated by the insurmountable illusory energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for in spite of having obtained your association, which gives liberation from material bondage, I did not seek such liberation. (SB 3.23.57)

Dear Maharaj,

It seems that all good intentions and resolutions always go in vain when i express them, so i better not express them any more. Still, increasing satisfaction is there after i started playing the game again cautiously, in stead of standing on the sideline for what seemed to be a too long time.

Signed,

Esteemed  Big Bellow Full of Air,
AGTSP.   pamho. It is so, so, nice to hear from you again. I remember that we met in Radha-desa and you had been doing so much service in austerity there for some time for Radha Gopinatha.   Yes, patience is very important.  Upadesamrta Text Three, but enthusiasm is more important. So, great you are finding enthusiasm in Bhakti-yoga.  Don't worry too much if you go up and down sometimes. Better to keep moving!!!!!    Where are you now???
