LOOKING 4 PERFECTION!?

[Nityananda Das]

Looking for "perfection" in this material world.

This seems to be the main reason of devotees nowadays to avoid asociation, and the question is: If I have to look for sadhu sanga (asociation with vaisnavas) ONLY with pure devotees, why to live in maths or visit temples?

It can be more easy to spend all the year in front of a computer and co-workers who follow no regulations at all, then I go to Radha Kunda and I have asociation for some weeks and that´s all.

Or,

I can be close to those who try themselfs to engage in seva (service), and with their help develop sradha (faith), anartha nivrti (erradication of unnecesary behavior and thinking) and the unders-standing that I am not this body (I am a spiritual soul, eternal servant of servant of Radha Govinde).

For some reason, maybe mind or Ego, it is more common these days to hear:

"I preffer to go other temple", "They criticize me", "I am tired of THIS", "If they don´t apreciate my service, I´ll never return" and so on...

This is just an excuse to commit aparada (offense) and try to CHANGE the outer world, rather that just do bhajan and follow Srila Gurudev´s order.
