Material world is a 3D movie made up of distress, disappointment and dissatisfaction.
The main cause of Vaisnava aparadha is association of materialistic people which makes one feel envious of devotees, judge them by material standards and find faults with them.
Whether your mind is your best friend or worst enemy – know for sure that he is here to stay. So you had better get to know him!
In all circumstances we should try to chant the Hare Krishna maha-mantra while thinking, feeling, willing, breathing, hearing, seeing, speaking, touching, tasting, waking, passing, bathing, dressing, walking, sitting, driving, working, relaxing, sleeping, dreaming and dying.
In Kali-yuga, the mind is so lazy that it wants to quit without even trying. If one is not immediately successful, the mind will say – "Oh. I cant do it. I quit!".
The most essential point of avoiding bad association is to give up the bad association of one's materialistic mentality.
The bird of the mind flies on two wings: the past and the future. Cut off the wings! Be here, now: hear, chant and remember – love, serve and surrender.
Chanting the holy name without service attitude produces sound but no divinity – like a gun firing blanks, instead of bullets.
Only if mercy (of Vaisnavas) descends, we ascend (in spiritual life).
