Pride is so deep, that even when we are sick, we are proud of it. We tell others about our sickness, to get their sympathy and attention. But Krishna’s devotees are humble. They never want any attention from others. They keep everyone’s attention on Krishna.
There are thousands of ways to forget Krishna. But only one way to remember Him : Chant Hare Krishna. Isn’t it easier then to just remember Krishna?
Anger, envy, lust and greed shot at us with terrible speed. From the mind do they feed to make our bhakti quickly recede.
Our mental contamination prevents us from relishing sadhu-sanga.
