SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 6 Text 39

etan me samsayam krsna
chettum arhasy asesatah
tvad-anyah samsayasyasya
chetta na hy upapadyate

etat--this is; me--my; samsayam--doubt; krsna--O Krsna; chettum--to dispel; arhasi--You are requested; asesatah--completel y; tvat--than You; anyah--other; samsayasya-- of the doubt; asya--this; chetta--remover; na--never; hi--certainly; upapadyate-- is to be found.

TRANSLATION

This is my doubt, O Krsna, and I ask You to dispel it completely. But for You, no one is to be found who can destroy this doubt.

JOURNAL

Being unsure of myself is one of the stories of my life! Should I get a new job? Should I leave my wife after eighteen years just because she doesn't worship God the same way I do? How much of myself should I expose in this blog? Answers don't come easy! And how about the big one. Should I abandon everything and become a real Hare Krishna?

Srila Prabhupada writes in his purport; Therefore the verdict of Krsna is the final and complete answer to all doubts, because He knows past, present and future perfectly--but no one knows Him. Krsna and Krsna conscious devotees alone can know what is what.

I wish I had a spiritual master to answer these questions.
