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 Bhagavad-gita 8.20-22, New York, November 2, 1966

Whatever we are seeing here, beautiful, they are all imitation of the real. As the doll is imitation of a beautiful girl, similarly, yasya satyataya nityapi satyam eva abhipadyate. Sridhara Svami says, "Because the spiritual world is real and this unreal manifestation appears to be real - appears to be real, but it is not real - we can understand reality will exist; reality will not vanquish." Reality means eternal. Therefore real pleasure, that is Krsna. The material pleasure is temporary, not actual.
