Because here you can hear instructions Shiksha how to be liberated. There are different rules or do not body. On what we may change regained our bodies and we pass through 8,400,000 species.

Next question 4th or what is the real meaning of self realization? Is self realization that we are able to feel the presence of the Lord in our heart or is it something else? What actually happens in self realization and how should we properly understand it? Prashna Sakshat Karga.
We are a soul non body after the time of self realization. Is very hard. Is also a very good process.
Guru Maharaj Now I am staying with devotees in temple and it's seeming to be very difficult for me to maintain a good relationship with devotees. I am trying to maintain and trying to be obedient but somehow misunderstanding coming in between. Please give me some solution Guru Maharaj Prashnah Guru Maharaj.
Instruct ourselves. Try this See the worst. I am the well light.
In temples we find we have different group of devotees and everyone wants us to be with them and that is not possible. Thus we associate with one devotee group and other Devotee group gets offended. What can we do in this situation?
All of the worries are rendered by that. What do I do?
Next question. I have heard the importance of spiritual life and importance of doing services. But I am extremely lazy. How to overcome laziness? Is it based on astrology also May I? Chota sa Prashna Kimane Bhagwat. Lazy or crazy.
It's not that we are formed by astrology. Our karmas towards a particular body. Laziness something through the tongue alone. So astrology tells us what the influences on us.
Only we did all right.
Hare Krishna Maharaj. How will I know my who is my Gurudev? Will he directly tell me or through some medium. Senior.
How you can think Someone asked me this question anytime. Present. Or. Hare Krishna.
Guru Maharaj. When we become attached to a particular outcome and then Krishna's arrangement turns out differently. How should one let go of that attachment while maintaining faith and gratitude?
They don't own. They can't take the car. They're hired to do something. They're constructing the car.
So.
Someone may graduate in college or do something else.
Yeah. Or could you be.
That may be Kajun later. You see how I could take the shelter of Guru in Naranga. Something might not work out where we wanted. Krishna is not her artist. But we can see in all different ways and they are how he can take shelter of him.
My question is how do I know that my spiritual master is happy with me? And how to overcome that feeling of not being able to preach properly. Say book distribution even after trying. To prayers.
So finally. I don't think we should.
Next question.
Thank you so much Guru Maharaj for giving us your association here in Mumbai. Guru Maharaj, in Chaitanya Charitamrita Madhyaleelila it is mentioned that separation from the pure devotee of the Lord is the biggest separation. It's called Dukkha Sindhu. Then how do we deal this with separation? Guru Maharaj? How can we deal the separation when you leave Mumbai out of your mercy? You are so accessible online. But we are going to miss your association. The last was how will we deal with the separation when you will leave Mumbai? Say kajata dukasindu. Above me Abadi Kripalu online.

So Agla Prashna when we start doing bhakti, there are a lot of Challenges how to face them with patience and determination without giving up.
In the start? We face a lot of challenges in Krishna consciousness. So how we can still keep going on with determination and patience?
How sindhur arni albert was done by india. Why do you think it sounds easy? It's hard. But in the war we win and we are deterrent and sort of no matter what. Who wants to fight. And the light who is done by our power? Krishnas are our Jjannas are all.
If Krishna loves us all. If Krishna loves everyone then why do we have to suffer.

But now it's hard to find such evil. How we will be personal conscious inside of it. My paragraph grandmother Ellen Ganges I sent. Until.
Next question. How can I grow my love for you? Your enthusiasm is ever increasing in bhakti. But we see devotees losing their enthusiasm after spending some years in devotional service. How can we keep ourselves highly enthusiastic in spiritual life?
