Very sick, taking the medicine

Hare Krishna Gurudev, 

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Here we are struggling so much to balance real life with temporary life. Still we couldnt move to the rural community. House building almost killed us, it was 2 very intense years, but finally griha pravesh is scheduled for may 25th.

HpS - Thursday!  Amavasya!!

So that will be a new phase in our life. Morning program everyday, living in a sattvic environment, surrounded by vaisnavas.

ASA - And mosquitos (HA HA HA!)

This last time it was very difficult for us (for whom it wasnt?) So many things to do!!

We still can not find the root of this passion mode (yes lust, but more detail) of doing so many things (father, fiance, iskcon member, junta administrativa, ayurvedic doctor, teaching at medschool and yoga course, leading food for life and book distribution) uff. One devotee the other day told me that he couldnt engage in one service cause he was doing so much, and i thought, but he is doing almost nothing, and then I realized that he knew his boundaries, his working capacity and how to balance, but i dont. I always do more than i can do and then i do it everything wrong or not in the best way.

HpS - At least you are beginning to realize that you are mad.

Last 2 months i was chanting like 6 rounds a day, fortunately since three days i regained 16r again. 4p pretty good.

Nrisimhadev mercy!!

So again, half an elephant!!

Looking for BG 6.16-17,

ASA - 

Bg 6.16 — There is no possibility of one’s becoming a yogī, O Arjuna, if one eats too much or eats too little, sleeps too much or does not sleep enough.

Bg 6.17 — He who is regulated in his habits of eating, sleeping, recreation and work can mitigate all material pains by practicing the yoga system.

Your more than stupid apprentice,

Nikunja bihari das.

HpS - Keep working!  Working!  "One who does good my friend is never overcome by evil'.  Seven rounds a day????  All your house work will pay off.
