The World Deliverance Mission is Our Life and Soul
In a Srimad Bhagavatam lecture on 17 December 1973 in Los Angeles Srila Prabhupada gave us the following instruction:
"...just become perfect in the understanding of this science and become guru and deliver the whole world."
And in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Third Canto, Chapter 24, Text 13 citing the great Vedic authority, Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura to make his statement even more powerful he writes:
"Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura has stated that the order of the spiritual master is the life and soul of the disciples. As a man cannot separate his life from his body, a disciple cannot separate the order of the spiritual master from his life."
Just as two plus two equals four, if we understand the connection between these two instructions, the obvious conclusion is that we must accept the world deliverance mission given to us by Srila Prabhupada as our very life and soul.
Thus we have two duties: become pure devotees and deliver the world. I accept the order to deliver the world so seriously that I am willing to take birth and birth if necessary in order to successfully carry out this assignment to deliver the world.
Our highest duty is of course to deliver ourselves because if we do not deliver ourselves we will have zero potency to deliver the world.

Sir, these days my exams are coming and I am stressed about them. I have gone into depression because of them. Sir, please tell me what I should do so that this depression will stop haunting me again and again.
Thank you, Sir
Jai Shri Krishna

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Depression is a sign that you have drifted into the mode of ignorance. If you will chant the Hare Krishna mantra at least 16 rounds daily on japa mala beads along with abstaining from illicit sex, meat eating intoxication, and gambling, depression will be driven completely out of your heart and you will become a powerful influence for making the whole world happy.
Just in case you don't know it here is how the Hare Krishna mantra goes:
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare
I hope this meets you in the best of health and forcefully driving depression out of your heart by chanting Hare Krishna.
Your ever well-wisher,
