Satisfaction can be disturbed by our surroundings, but Krishna Consciousness can help us transcend everything.
To protect ourselves from Kali we have to be honest, sincere and should not keep ulterior motive-. Hence we became instruments of Maya. We should strive to live by the teachings that Srimad Bhagvatam has left with us.
You cannot appreciate transcendental matters with the reasoning of the world. It is sheer nonsense to decry them with the measuring stick of your intellect.
In this age of Kali, the holy name of the Lord, the Hare Krishna maha-mantra, is the incarnation of Lord Krishna.
Vaishnava means whatever he does is for the pleasure of Krishna, service to Krishna without any motivation. He is always happy & joyful. Krishna will take care of him & when he leaves his body, he always lives with Krishna & his associates. This should be our business.

Lord Chaitanya has given special stress to chanting of these holy names of the Lord as the basic principle of spiritual advancement.
