Maturity in Krsna consciousness also includes the ability to discriminate between real renunciation and artificial renunciation. A really renounced person can love and serve Krishna in any condition of life—even in school, surrounded by non-devotees and meat-eaters. Krishna has placed you there, in school, at this point in your life. Now you must learn how to take the best advantage of His arrangement. Just because "it is so hard being in school" is not a sufficient ground to give it up. Wherever you go in this material world, it is going to be hard. It is hard living in the temple too. However, Krishna helps to make it easier as you learn to depend upon Him in every situation. Rather than artificially adjusting the situation, you must adjust your consciousness.
