Niranjana Swami's Quote Of The Day
July 13
If you try to maintain your sanity without Krishna, then you will be destined to failure. It is simply not possible. When the pressure builds up, take shelter in any one of the nine processes of devotional service. Sanity will automatically come. If you take shelter in something artificial, then it won’t lead to sanity. Things may seem to get better, but that is only an illusion.

Out of the nine processes of devotional service, hearing is the most important. And when the disciple is hearing, this gives the spiritual master such great satisfaction because it is the purpose of his existence in this world. He wants to glorify the Lord, but to whom should he glorify? Please understand this point. And if you don't understand, then please try to understand.
