- I think brahmacari

life is difficult andboring. How can Idrag on living a drylife in the temple ?

INTELLIGENCE THINKS

But the dreamy illusion of thematerial world is only sweet tohear about; Nobody has becomehappy there.

When you enter it, itll burn you likefire and tear you like thorn.Because of a comfortable stateof life at temple, you dontrealise the danger of materiallife. Dont get into wrong track.

What Helped Me in Severe TestsBy Narayani Devi Dasi

Narayani Dasi is serving as a teacher in the Vaisnava Institute for Higher Education andwriting a curriculum for Bhakti Sastri Course as well as helping research for the Bhakti

Vaibhava Course.

1. Sadhana Strong sadhana means morning program, concentrated japa and reading

Srila Prabhupada's books.

2. Guru When making decisions I try to understand what Srila Prabhupada wants

me to do. Those who have a guru may consult a guru before makingimportant decisions.

3. Devotees When in trouble I confide in other devotees - at least one confidential friend

helps.

4. Deities I reveal my mind to the Deities, pray and wait for answers.
