Celebrating Independence Day at Every Minute

In the USA the 4th of July or Independence Day is one of the biggest public holidays of the year. It celebrates that day in 1776 when the thirteen American colonies, which were then under British rule, formally adopted their Declaration of Independence from Great Britain. But ultimately how significant is this holiday? The American people must still get sick, get old, and die. Although they attained their desired independence from Great Britain, they have not gotten independence from these cruel pinches of the material nature. They got their independence from Great Britain, but they have not gained independence from the sufferings of material existence.

Conversely, the devotee of the Lord, who has taken complete shelter of the Lord, does not have to wait for a full year to celebrate independence day because he celebrates his complete independence from the all the sufferings of material existence at every minute.

Question: How to Find a True Guru?

How to find a true guru?

Dilip J.

Answer: Be Serious to Become Krishna Conscious

If you are serious about sudying any subject matter, you will find out some college, some institution where you can study it. Similarly, if you want to find a guru, you simply have to be serious about becoming Krishna conscious. If you are actually serious about this wonderful process of awakening your dormant Krishna consciousness, Krishna will send you one of His representatives to become your spiritual master, and he will take charge of you. That is the process. If you do not find a guru, this means that you are not yet sufficiently serious to accept the instructions of the spiritual master.
