Every year we are looking for long-lasting new new ways of enjoying the senses. But whichever way it's done,it brings only misery and make the self even more frustrated because of the limits&temporary nature of the pleasure.With the false hope of enjoying more&more,we get drowned into the material ocean deeper and deeper until we realize we are lost into it. Every year seems to be new,But we are the same old person who lost one valuable year in human life. Every new year shows we add one old year to our age. 

There are Friends who send me messages saying 366 days of happiness,which is never going to happen in this world as long as we are exploiting the resources of material nature for our sense pleasure. There are means to derive happiness within rather than seeking elsewhere in the resources of the worldly objects.

By making our intelligence&mind fixed in Krishna consciousness,we get the strength to deal with the senses who are bad masters driving us mad with the chariot of body,Perception of evil of birth,death,old age,disease is real knowledge & to get out of the cycle of birth and death within this life should be the resolution for every new year of our every old year.

Every year we add new new ways of enjoying the senses but in the end our desire to enjoy the fruitive activities get vanquished at death.The impressions in the mind get even more stronger and make the senses drive us mad&prepare us to enter the doors of hell even within this world.

One must elevate oneself in mind by performing the prescribed duties and not degrade. For an unbridled horse puts his Passenger in a precarious state so does the uncontrolled mind which puts the next destination of the soul in dangerous condition.

Also the happiness and distress we experience is only because of the sense perception and mental concoction. Being desirous of sense enjoyment and opulent life, foolish and ignorant men say that there's nothing more than this. They think that lust&sex life is the cause of all creation & the only means of enjoyment.

As long as we dont change our consciousness it's going to be the same old year.Because we will be doing the same old eating,sleeping.mating,defending which we have been doing from time immemorial in a variety of bodies with variety of senses that are centered about the mind. New year or old year is in our hands.New-Krishna consciousness,Old-animal consciousness.
