A Verse That Drives Away All Unhappiness
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu asked Rūpa Gosvāmī, “My dear Rūpa, please recite that verse from your drama which, upon being heard, makes all people’s unhappiness and lamentation go away.” When the Lord persisted in asking this again and again, Rūpa Gosvāmī recited this verse:
tuṇḍe tāṇḍavinī ratiṁ vitanute tuṇḍāvalī-labdhaye
karṇa-kroḍa-kaḍambinī ghaṭayate karṇārbudebhyaḥ spṛhām
cetaḥ-prāṅgaṇa-saṅginī vijayate sarvendriyāṇāṁ kṛtiṁ
no jāne janitā kiyadbhir amṛtaiḥ kṛṣṇeti varṇa-dvayī
TRANSLATION
“‘I do not know how much nectar the two syllables “Kṛṣ-ṇa” have produced. When the holy name of Kṛṣṇa is chanted, it appears to dance within the mouth. We then desire many, many mouths. When that name enters the holes of the ears, we desire many millions of ears. And when the holy name dances in the courtyard of the heart, it conquers the activities of the mind, and therefore all the senses become inert.’”
So if we are ever feeling miserable, we can recite this verse to drive away all misery.

My Dear Sarita,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Even though the living being who goes back to Godhead still has free will and could fall down again, because he has already done so once and learned his lesson he will not make the same mistake again. In this connection it is said, "Once burned, twice shy." A foolish child may stick his hand in the fire once, but he won't do it again.
I hope this meets you in the best of health.
