September 4, 2021 - A Letter to a Devotee Undergoing a Difficult Test (from the Blog)

Devotional service is an internal cultivation. If you can simply continue accepting your life as it is now as Krishna's mercy, Krishna will take notice, and He will carry you through all of this. You will come out of this with more realizations, more compassion, and with a brighter future as you move closer in your relationship to Krishna.

Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Nectar of Devotion, Vrndavana, November 5, 1972

So long we are tinged with sinful activities, we have to accept different varieties of body, either the body of Lord Brahma or the body of an ant, indragopa, a small microbic insect, yas tv indragopam athavendram aho sva-karma [Bs 5.54]. From this indragopa, the microscopic insect which is called indragopa insect, from this indragopa insect to the real Indra, the king of heaven, everyone is suffering or enjoying - actually it is suffering - the resultant action of his karma. It doesn't matter what kind of body a living entity has got, but the body itself is the symptom, is the sign that one is sinful. This is the conclusion of the sastra. Because as soon as one is free from sinful activities, at that time he goes back to home, back to Godhead.
