Me me me
In spiritual life we find the initial attraction to be most fulfilling.
This is because you generally have devotees giving you a lot of attention and whatever you do is glorified and magnified.
After this initial honeymoon period - when the dust settles a bit – you find that there is a new kid on the block.
You are not noticed so much.
You are expected to just get on with it.
You even start to be pulled up for services which you do badly or make mistakes in.
This is the real testing period in a devotee’s life.
Are you sincere enough to just continue and carry and wait patiently for Krsna’s mercy?
Or do you falter and start to throw tantrums and blame your authorities all in the name of wanting attention?
The more you advance in spiritual life the more you realise that it is not actually about “ Me me me” but it was always just about “Krsna Krsna Krsna”.
