Cancelled Flight, But Still Allright

In this material world we must always be prepared for any and all kinds of uncertainties. At any moment our plans can be disrupted. As long as our happiness is based on doing exactly what we want to do when we want to do it, we will always find ourselves on shaky ground. We have to always be prepared to do what Krishna wants us to do, even if it is not what we want to do. This mood of being willing to do anything to please Krishna brings true and lasting peace to the devotee. Because there is no power greater than Krishna, no one can disrupt His plans. Therefore by submitting ourselves to Krishna's plans we become free from all uncertainties.

We were supposed to be in Timisoara, Romania today, but after arriving from Sofia, Bulgaria to connect with a flight to Timisoara we found that it was cancelled. Therefore this morning we are in Budapest in a hotel room paid for by Malev Airlines instead of in Timisoara. Our Krishna consciousness is not disrupted because we found a Govinda's restaurant here for taking prasadam, we still have our normal morning program of deity worship and chanting our japa, and I am doing my normal writing activities on my laptop computer. As long as our only agenda is to be 24 hours engaged in Krishna consciousness, we can always be enlivened and happy under any and all circumstances, whether we find ourselves on the bank of the Yamuna or the Danube.
