Really it is day 3 as I slipped up a bit on Tuesday due to my sister in
laws birthday do.
Going well.
Have lost a couple of pounds and feel much fresher and lighter.
Had a realisation that the real detox is to clean the mirror of the mind
through chanting and reading.
If this root is rocky or weak then we feel depressed, upset, isolated,
lonely, down, moody.
We use so many other quick fixes to cover this problem up ie: new
hairstyle, new clothes, even new spouse or home but really the root
cause of our discontent is that we are a spiritual being and are trying
to find satisfaction with material solutions.
Totally impossible !
Like trying to keep a fish as a pet in a cage in your house and
wondering why it is slowly wilting day by day and eventually dies.
Srila Prabhupada stressed throughout the whole of the Bg that we have to
chant Hare Krsna and engage in devotional service. Arjuna is on the
battlefield and ready to kill so many soldiers but he has doubts and
starts to get cold feet. And the solution for him is the same as it is
for you and me... engage in devotional service, think of Krsna, serve
Krsna, chant His holy names... and surely you will come to Him.
