Hare Krishna.

How did you become convinced that reviving your relationship with God (and going back to Godhead) is worth it, worth the effort needed to put in?

Thank you for your replies.

By experiences and realizations of pratyaksa, anumana and sabda type. E.g.:

pratyaksa - impermanence of material world, relationships, etc., vs. personal experiences from bhakti yoga (kitan, katha, personal seva, sastra study and its confirmation in life, etc.), life and death experiences of nondevotees vs. devotees

anumana - all material efforts bring little pleasure now and lead to loss of everything at death vs. immediate bliss of bhakti yoga

sabda - testimonies of materialists vs. devotees, sastras
