How big is your world?

How much control do you have?

Do you have control over body?

Can you make it defecate and urinate in a socially acceptable way? Can you play the social roles related to your psycho-social station?

It will all fall apart sooner or later, no?
We will be weak, seeing decay and destruction in all parts of our social empire, city of nine gates.

Will we lose the association of all the devotees who are our friends in ISKCON?

Will we just surrender to Lord Jagannatha and go with Him forgetting everyone else is that is what He asks?

==================

Sunday
4.30 p.m.
At the house of Vijay and Veena Narain.

About 25-devotees here for a five hour Kirtan.
3-1/2 hours have passed. It is amazing how much variety there is in chanting the Holy Names: Rhythms, feeling. I can see that I may chant because it is a social thing that I feel will give me freedom from bad events, to my family, body, or I may chant for celestial sense gratification, or... I may chant and think of the Deities, Radharani and Krsna, and then want to chant with a certain meaning...   A world of Maha-mantra.

Krsna, we are very weak. We seem to be falling down. All our strength, to the last moment seems to be dedicated to holding on the lotus feet of Your servant, Acharya, and chanting HK/R.
If you give us any strength and intelligence this body will act.
