October 3, 2001 - Another Recent Letter (from the Blog)
Although this is not one of the many reasons why I do not answer letters, in some respect, by not answering letters, sincere devotees learn to pray and to hanker for a confirmation that what they are doing, feeling, thinking, observing, hankering for, aspiring to realize, and what they are writing to me about, is helping them in their search for the right answers.
Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 7.1, Durban, October 9, 1975
According to Vedic injunction, you are destined to achieve a certain amount of happiness and certain amount of distress also, because you cannot achieve here in this material world any happiness which is not disturbed. There must be distress. So there are two things: happiness and distress. So as you are getting distress without inviting it... Nobody invites distress, "Let distress come upon me." Nobody invites, but it comes. Similarly, even if you do not pray for happiness, whatever is destined to you, it will come. So don't bother yourself about the material distress and happiness. Try to achieve Krsna consciousness, which you could not achieve in so many lives after life. That is the injunction. That is called absolute knowledge.
