TRANSLATION

If you cannot practice the regulations of bhakti-yoga, then just try to work for Me, because by working for Me you will come to the perfect stage. If, however, you are unable to work in this consciousness of Me, then try to act giving up all results of your work and try to be self-situated.

JOURNAL:

How deep God's mercy runs! Just try, from the point that you are at, to love Him, and He, in turn, will bring you to Himself.
