HpS - ASA --- This body IS a disease!     Ooof.  You have problems also.


I want to thank you for your visit to Chile, I can imagine how exhausting it must be to always be traveling. I feel blessed to have her [his] association as I am very inspired by her devotion to the service of Srila Prabhupada and her devotees.
I want to write how I feel and also, what I am doing during my residence in the temple. There have been several changes in the temple, because some devotees have migrated to other temples or places and therefore feel that absence because of the lack of hands to cover certain services. For my part, I try hard to keep my sadhana and sing 16 enthusiastic rounds, to begin an arduous day in the temple restorant. I tell you, we have been doing a Bhagavad Gita study seminar given by a devotee of the congregation several weeks ago and it has been very profitable for me. I thought ... many times there arise doubts or insecurities in our mind that is like a child asking for this or that, and it comes to my mind Arjuna thinking of leaving the battlefield and Krishna (Madhusudana) goes to him saying that lamentation, material tears are a sign of ignorance and I can link all this with an extract from the book The Teachings of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, where he instructs Sanatana Goswami, Sanatana with their hands together and in a very humble attitude asks for instruction and instructions for write a book and Sri Caitanya gives his blessings and tells him that the most important thing is to accept a trustworthy spiritual master, and I give thanks for having his shelter.
I would like to ask a question, is it true that the more service we make our anarthas are manifesting more? I wonder, what form could you be aware of this and work those anarthas?
His humble servant, bhaktina Maria de los Ángeles

HpS - Thank you for your letter. I can only think that you must have been a very sincere devotee in your previous lifetime, maybe a Clarisa o algo.
I have heard that engaging devotional service brings out the hidden material desires, trash, but I can't think of any direct citations about that now.Madhya 19.156 and the subsequent verses may give some very interesting knowledge about this. Tell us what you find!
