O mighty-armed Krsna, does not such a man, who is bewildered from the path of transcendence, fall away from both spiritual and material success and perish like a riven cloud, with no position in any sphere?

JOURNAL:

Lately I have been looking for steadier work. There is a balancing point between wanting material success, so I can support my family, and transcendence, so I can go back home to Godhead, that I am having a hard time with. My job right now is not a very good one for living a regulated life and I am becoming frustrated with it. I never know when or what time of day I might have to work. I am ready to take a job that pays less just to have a more ordered life.
