continuing the same doubt--- in  http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/node/774

Tom Brown wrote on ur behalf -----  TB - ASA -   Very good questions, but basic principle is to always chant Hare Krsna. If you have any doubt what to do chant Hare Krsna.    Getting up eary and getting your rounds done well is the first principle. You should always do that.
Are you doing it?

Until you are a little advanced in that your other questions won'te be very valuable!!!
Tell us the results of your efforts in this area.

----------------------------------------------------------------
telling u the results of our effort.. we tried to make morning program strong,  as result  we got chance to associate with devotess who could help. we dont see our own intelligence improved...but we intelligence from outside.... by god's arragement....
however when we are alone our mind always ask/instructs be practical/ dont put blind faith on instruction..
many devotees have also asked us to be practical/ not just implementing instructions becasue we have heard them. like http://vedabase.com/en/sb/2/2/4  --- (lie on earht, wear torn clothes, take fruits from trees etc)
our question is what is practical------  what we understand that practicality depends on our time,place,cicrumstances   and most important faith on the lord......  like its practical for prahlad maharaj to jump in boilig oil( we think -- please correct us)..
 
how do we know
[a] we are being impratical by following more than we can .. (imitating without on being platform)
[b] we are not putting enough faith on lord on the name of practicality...
---------------------------------------------------------------
there are many instructions of how to handle time, place and circumtances.. we get from intiated disciples of Various Gurus in ISK. how to know which is meant for us..
 
like we heard one temple president saying " dont take profession of stock exchange, then you will think of  numbers and stocks".  on the other hand we see a devotee who is doing very well in stock markets. he gives lectures like  ""Bhagavad Gita in the Stock Market?"............. now this paradox for us..
our tiny intelligence get so bob down in all this...   that mind takes opportunity to confuse us and somehow make us slack in morning program.....
