why give up, just go on

ok, i must admit, it was tough this morning. i felled like: "NO, TODAY NOT, I WILL REMAIN IN MY TAMABAG. I HAVE A GOOD REASON, I AM SICK.

i am sick.

anyway.

reminds me, once, when i was a brahmacari, i hat fever and we were in the midst of the prabhupada marathon. i went out anyway, and distributed a caitanya caritamrita set.

well ok, if you are sick you should stay in bed and not travel, right? i remember, one sankirtan devotee later told me even, that i am a fanatic.

i was not too sick then.

i am not too sick yet.

it feels so good just to stand up

and please krishna and prabhupada.

i remember a class of romapada swami. - and that s the most important point of the class, i remember -, he said: " a devotee knows, when he is safe."

i must say, i feel much more safe now, just by raising early and trying to chant hare krishna.

i m not talking about the ten offences yet.

I would like to discuss this in the next posts.. (my mind this morning was trying to churn nektar in thinking about how to do business on e-bay))

how to overcome distraction, which is the root cause of all the other offences,

this is definitely worth to discuss, i think.

Sometimes carrying on when you don't really want to is part of the gift.

But,having said that, Srila Prabhupada once said that it's okay to skip your rounds when you are ill- provided you make them up when you're well.

I hope you are feeling better soon!
