Until complete Krishna consciousness is achieved and we are completely free from the bodily conception we must know how to deal with anxiety in a way that helps us continue the endeavor for Krishna consciousness. That endeavor must never be given up. If there is too much anxiety and we give up the endeavor for Krishna consciousness, then the only alternative is to take shelter in an illusory plan for temporarily relieving anxiety, thus only causing more and more anxiety in forgetfulness of Krishna.
