In the middle of the big festival everyone is inspired. On Sunday everyone is happy about the feast! It’s Monday when it’s tough – when you have to go back to work. That’s the tough part. Those are the days when spiritual life is hard. So we need to take advantage of these opportunities to serve Krsna, so that we become transcendental, and then when the material modes of nature create extreme circumstances – which they will do at times, that we will have the strength to see it as transcendental.
(Kadamba Kanana Swami, Chowpatty, 12th December 2010)
