I feel like quitting my life immediately and attain liberation. I have no inspiration or motivation to continue living in this material world.

Can you please help in this regard?

Thanks,

Answer: Fully Krishnize Yourself For Unlimited Bliss

Ending your life artificially by suicide will not liberate you from material existence. In fact, it will make your life even worse. You will take birth in your next life as a ghost and be forced by your material desires to haunt various people to try to enjoy material pleasure vicariously through their bodies.

So instead of putting an end to your life in a futile attempt to be liberated, you should end your material life by fully spiritualizing or Krishnizing your life. In this way you will attain unlimited bliss and all of your miseries will be totally gone. This is accomplished by fully surrendering unto Krishna through the transparent via medium of the bona fide spiritual master. This will bring you into an eternal ever-increasingly ecstatic existence.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination.

Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked t

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image
On Friday 26 June 2015 I was blessed with the greatest good fortune of meeting with two of the dearest devotees of my entire life, His Grace Amarendra Prabhu and his good wife, Srimati Gayatri devi dasi. I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But
