hare krsna maharaj,
PAMHO, AGTSP,
thank you very much for picking up our call two weeks back while we were in bus. we were able to hear you a little bit, but even that was satiating to us ?
can you answer this question again, why does mind wants to follow rules and get agitated when it is not able to follow them ? why some times it does not want to follow rules ?
HpS - Hare Krsna! I don't exactly understand. It sounds like a very specific question, no? Of course the basic answer is in NOI, Text One: The mind likes to be attached to certain plans, "avirodha priti", and when this is blocked, then "yukta virodha krodha", anger results. That is just the way the mind is, like the sky is blue and grass is green.

Is some enlightement? Some times it does not like to follow them: NOI 7 - It is in jauniced state, doesn't like sugar.
you also said.. just chant be happy ? how can be happy by just chanting until unless he has purified himself or chanting offenselessly.
HpS - Prabhupada says that. Chant Hare Krsna and be happy, become happy. Jesus Christ said pray to God and become happy. Prabhupada explains that this is like telling someone who is suffering from bad disease, coughing up blood, go to the hospital, you will be cured.
It is true but you have to approach the Reception in the Hospital. Fill out the forms, talk with a doctor, have tests.... But the basic principle is go to the hospital. So in the begining our chanting makes us pious, "srnvatam sva katha Krsna, punya sravana...", material distress dimishes, things start to become auspicius... prema, happy in being able to offer something really tangible to Krsna's efforts.
trying to hang on
harsh
HpS - http://www.vedabase.com/en/bg/6/40. You have been hanging on for so long that there can be no doubt about good results. Everyone is different! We hope to see some tangible results soon.
Can you contact Acharya ratna Das, Temple President in Kolkata and tell him we will be in India from 1 January t to 15th February and of course we want to work with him and the Kolkatta yatra. We tried Texting, Calling and writing to him. We think now we will be in Kolkatta from 10th January to 17th. Does he have any suggestions about how we can help them??
