Hare Krsna BELOVED GURUDEVA
AGTSP
PAMHO
I hope this meets U in really good health!!!
Gurudeva UTSAHAN ONE always must find it in our intelligence right? But what happens if I do not have any intelligence? I am too entangled by the clutches of this material world. So first question.
ASA = As we heard we always CAN find it. Maybe there and in other sources also.
Can we forze ourselves to love Krsna??? For instance even if I do not want to go to the temple or do my service I must forze me to do it?
HpS - ASA -- Yes, Prabhupada gives the example of how the child does not want to go to school, but he is forced. Then he discovers it is fun. So many other kids to play with. Teachers make learning fun. Learning opens new worlds. He learns to read and that opens ...... !. .
But we have to force with proper understanding. The surgeon uses forces but he knows how to do it, otherwise there is a bad taste afterwards for everyone.
Is it licit to try to cheat Krsna.. well He can not be cheated.. Is it licit to try to forze myself to love Him?
HpS - Do you mean 'licit' or 'illicit'? NoI-8, "Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura has commented as follows upon this verse: “One who has not yet developed interest in Kṛṣṇa consciousness should give up all material motives and train his mind by...". If you don't have any interest in KC then why should you try to develope it?? Seems he means: No spontaneous interest, but we are interested by fear of death, poverty, lonliness etc. We have some intelligence. So we apply the process that the Acharya gives and that allows our Adau sraddha... to grow into real, natural taste. Yes, Vaidhi-bhakti means pushing certain rules on your mind and senses because at heart you know its worth trying and the result is good and you push some more.
Get up early and get your rounds done.

HpS - What about becoming a Mormon or Jehovah's Witness? Get one partner and have a FMP on line! Maybe expand it then. Send a report every two weeks to the Blog of your performance. There is a LOT to do, quickly. Get your head clear. Ask Radha if you can marry Krsna also. Arjuna kidnapped Subhadra and brought her home to Hastinapur. He knew that Draupadi would not be very happy that Husband had brought a new good looking, younger, Wife home. So he told Subhadra to not dress in royal garments, but dress up like a little cowherd girl and then run to Draupadi's apartments and fall at her feet and say, "Oh, Mataji, please help me! This terrible Arjuna has kidnapped me and I don't know what to do!!!"
It worked. Draupadi picked her up and hugged her and said, "Oh, its alright. Actually he is a very nice person, and you are so beautiful and nice, how could he not be captured by you. We will be good friends and share him!"
So, ask Radha try the same trick with your sister, Radha, "Booh! Hooo! Hooo!", "Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!"
At the time of death we have to have such an intense relation with Krsna, so maybe he is not giving you a chance to get a second rate marriage to Fred, Bob or Joe, but pushing you into what you have to do anyway. What we all have to do.
