Dear Rishi ji, Hare Krishna. How are you? As we have inherited the egoistic mentality, the inertia to enjoy through cycles of births, it is not easy for an enslaved Jiva to give up all mundane egos and take absolute shelter at the Lotus Feet of Supreme God unconditionally. Association of bona fide Shuddha Bhaktas is essential for getting enhancement in spiritual life. We cannot get the desired result all of a sudden. It requires time. It depends upon the intensity of the sadhana. Even Ambarish Maharaja, the great devotee, could conquer all Kama gradually. We are to continue to perform sadhana with steadfast belief and patience. It is better to go through 'Bhakta-Charitras' —biographies of devotees in Srimad Bhagavatam, as we get impetus from Bhaktas how they attained God. When one can see drawbacks and painfulness of enjoyment, one cannot will-fully take recourse to this. An enslaved Jiva cannot rescue himself from the clutches of Maya by his own capability, as long as he remains averse to Sri Krishna. Every enslaved Jiva is attracted by lust - desire for money, woman/man, name & fame. Only a sincere, completely surrendered soul can rescue himself from the clutches of Maya by the grace of Sri Krishna and His Absolute Counterpart Gurudeva. Sharnagati' is the Divine Panacea of all diseases. Invoking 'Sri Krishna' from the core of heart is the best expression of 'Sharnagati'.

What ever explained above by maharaj ji happens by the repeated experience of samadhi , beyond the nama roopa guna , happens easily and in shortest time nothing more is necessary so it is essential to experience samadhi, what ever may be the line of sadhana this is my authentic experience, not just words for argument , we have inherited the egoistic mentality, .. manam eva ....it is a supreme divine gift .....a means for bandha and moksha to help us raise ourselves to the supreme's ego level, '' aham bramasmi '', and thus fulfill the purpose of being born as a individual ego, this continuous expansion of ego happens as we proceed in sadhana on correct lines... i repeat ... correct lines , and merges with the infinite ego , the nirakar nirgun and it's as easy as learning alphabets, but under a right master, if not one remains in a mirage, a hope, a belief, a faith, a patience life long , not attaining the ultimate union |
