This Morning's Class

This morning's class was supposed to be given by Rupa Nuga prabhu but he had asked Maharaj to give the class.Lately they have been choosing different topics to talk about and this particular topic we talked about was balance in spiritual life.

Maharaj says we should be steady and stay in the middle when it comes to spiritual life not going this way or that way as we may become confused or lost and cannot regain our balance spiritually. It's like riding a bike. A child is on training wheels so that he or she will not fall off the bike.As they get older they can learn to ride the bike straight and not wobble it and lose balance that would make them fall off.So Spirutal life is like that in Krishna Conciousness. I've had this happen to me off and on but I still pull through and stay Krishna Concious. In this age of Kali it's not easy to stay balanced as we are always in maya(illusion). Im still on "training wheels" in Krishna Conciousness. Im not that advanced and im not a first class devotee as I still have much to learn yet.

So at the end of class today. Maharaj asked some of us if we could look up Bhagavad Gita verses that relate to "balance." I found about four of them so far. Still have to check the rest of the Bhagavad Gita for the verses.I hope I found the right ones. I'll find out when I show him the verses.I like it when Maharaj gives us these little assignments. I actually want him to give me more assignments like this to read from the Gita. I like to look up certain verses in it. I find that alot of the answers to my problems are all in the Bhagavad Gita As It Is by His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivendenta Swami Prabhupada.Again I grately thank Srila Prabhupada for giving us this wonderful book that Krishna Himself spoke from. A lot of my problems were cured from this book alone. I still have to work on some of my problems but other than that I've been so much better than I used to be before I became Krishna Concious and my life is more balanced and less stressed. Krishna Conciousness can make your life more purified if you just try it and give it a chance instead of judging it in your own words. You have to know what it REALLY teaches before you judge it as something mundane or fake.It's not fake. It's very real and it has REAL knowledge about the aim of life.  Being in Krishna Conciousness is awesome I think. They make it more fun and interesting to learn about God. And like the topic was about...it helps to keep your life in balance.:)

Thank you Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you!
