"Only the self-controlled can gradually be attached to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Self-controlled means not indulging in sense enjoyment more than is necessary. And those who are not self-controlled are given over to sense enjoyment."(SB 1.18.22)
Today, this is quite difficult. Advertisements, TV, education, tradition, encourage us to engage the senses in the material energy. It is very scary for me to face, and it is so much more scary to know that my child will be growing up in this. Please, though we may be undeserving give us the strength and knowledge to see, accept and act on the truth.
"Renunciation means renouncing one´s dependence on the conditions of material nature and thus becoming completely dependent on the mercy of the Lord. Real independence means faith in the mercy of the Lord without dependence on the the conditions of matter.".(SB 1.18.22)
About Me
- Rachel
- I'm a mother of two living in Sri Dham Mayapur, India. We've recently decided to have the children learn from home, or rather, not at school. I'm still trying to find my feet, but you're more than welcome to join us on our journey. Beyond school learning and learning beyond the curriculum.
