The mercy of Lord Caitanya

The more we are entering into the relationship with Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the more we will be able to actually have self confidence. Because, maybe our biggest struggle in spiritual life is not that we don’t believe in Krsna consciousness- we do- but our biggest problem is that we don’t believe in ourselves. Krsna consciousness- ‘yes, I believe it’s true, but can I really follow it?’ That’s the doubt that is sort of much stronger than any other one- our lack of faith in our own ability to follow this. But the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is really meant for making up in what we’re falling short...
