Who am I?

Who am I?
Why can't I just be who I am? What is covering me? What is stopping me?
Chi - in this movie, Panda fearlessly overcomes the evil foe without really knowing how he was going to do it.

Will I also surrender to Krishna at a very climatic moment? And not knowing what to do, will I also somehow overcome? My faith? Will it pass the test?

The more you take, the less you have.

When you empower others, they empower you.

When you believe you cannot do something, you are wrong.

I want to stop living a dead life and live to my true potential. I can be a fully empowered jiva or I can be a miserly one. Out of fear and lethargy, will I give up my attempt to fly after having come so far? After my purpose is more purified than before?

The love you have for Krishna is the love you will have for others. And the love of Krishna and others is what helps you do the impossible. Enemies become friends. Problems vanish. Skadoosh.

I want to live this adventure. But I feel unprepared and lost. I feel down and low. I feel maybe I am being too childish to expect an adventure - what if I am imagining too much.

But I know I must rise up. time is running out. the inevitable horror of the future has almost arrived. i must do my part. no matter how small or big it is. I must not desist. I must not resist. I can be me. I can try my best. I should not hide out of low confidence. I must be confident of Krishna. I must have faith in Him.

Humble as a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree

Harer Nama Harer Nama Harer Nama eva Kevalam
Kalau Nasti eva Nasti eva Nasti eva Gatir Anyatha

Trinad api sunichena, taror iva sahishnuna
Amanina mana dena, kirtaniya sada Hari

One must be more humble than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, giving all respect to others and expecting none in return. In this mood, one can chant the Holy Names constantly.

My goal is one: to become more humble than a blade of grass, to be more tolerant than a tree, giving all respect to others and expecting none in return. In this way I can chant constantly in the right mood, and the Lord will then consider giving me Pure Love for Himself. With that love, I can surrender completely, and my life will be successful.
