So as devotees, we are mixed. We are people with mixed feelings. We have feelings of attraction towards Krsna, and we have feelings of attraction towards the material energy. We have divisions in our bodies as much as anyone else and therefore every devotee has within himself a dilemma. Therefore sometimes spiritual life is described to be a war on Maya, in other words, a fight - a fight with ourselves. That's not so easy, to fight this fight, but when you fight this fight on the strength on knowledge, on the strength of deeper understanding of the long-term benefits of following spiritual principles, ..alright this gives some relief, but it is still difficult. Because on knowledge, how long can you fight? Ultimately, we have to fight on the strength of love. We must love our spiritual activities. If we love Krsna Consciousness, then we will never be defeated!(Kadamba Kanana Swami, Durban, 04/04/2010)
