Our shelter

(Kadamba Kanana Maharaja, 21 December 2011, Cape Town, SA)

Sometimes I come on this point of taking shelter and how no one on his own is spiritually strong. It's just by taking shelter that one becomes spiritually strong. So yes, again and again we must take shelter. The mind says, 'no!' the body says, 'no!' that may be…and even people around us might say, 'what are you doing? Come on!' maybe those who are close to us will shake their heads and say, 'you're gone! You're lost! You're totally impractical! Be more practical! I mean how are you going to deal with life like this? Now you're young, and you think you are going to last like this your whole life? And what will you have later on, when you'll need it to fall back on? Nothing! You're wasting the best years of your life!' In this way we hear and seeds of doubt are planted in our consciousness by the environment, by family, by friends, by the media, by our own minds…

So how do we counteract all these mundane influences that are somehow or other entering our consciousness? By just turning back to the devotees.
