Do Not Postpone Accepting a Spiritual Master
It is very clearly stated in the Srimad Bhagavatam, 11th Canto, Chapter 3, Text 21 as follows:
tasmād guruṁ prapadyeta
jijñāsuḥ śreya uttamam
śābde pare ca niṣṇātaṁ
brahmaṇy upaśamāśrayam
"Therefore any person who seriously desires real happiness must seek a bona fide spiritual master and take shelter of him by initiation. The qualification of the bona fide guru is that he has realized the conclusions of the scriptures by deliberation and is able to convince others of these conclusions. Such great personalities, who have taken shelter of the Supreme Godhead, leaving aside all material considerations, should be understood to be bona fide spiritual masters."
So if you are seriously desiring real happiness and you have not yet accepted a spiritual master, it is time to get serious about doing so. And if you have already accepted one, you need to make sure that are following him strictly without any deviation with your every, thought, word, and deed in all times, places, and circumstances. Don't take initiation whimsically. Take it seriously and your reward will be unlimited!

My Dear Amruta,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
The key is to take chanting to be more important than eating. In this time of difficulty have you neglected to feed your body? I am sure that you have not. But more important than feeding your body is to feed your spiritual self, your actual self, by chanting Hare Krishna. So don't starve yourself. Always put Krishna first and you will amazed by how you will be easily able to cross over all obstacles.
So on a practical level don't put any food into your mouth every day until you have chanted the Hare Krishna mantra on japa beads. Strictly follow my instruction and your life will be unlimitedly sublime!
I hope this meets you in the best of health.
