Hare krsna maharaj,
Ssuppose any prabhus happen to read, plz forward this one to maharaj also
All glories to sri guru & gauranga
Accept my humble obeisances.
Plz read it & help me
Iam practicing KC for last 2 yrs.Iam not able to experience the taste which i relished in the beginning. I also know that the offences which i have committed at the lotus feet of KRSNA & vaishnavas is the reason for this. what is the solution for this?I can ask to my seniour devotes but i feel very shame to ask this kind of questions.Thats why iam asking you in mail.
Also sometimes i had a thought why i want to serve krsna & why he alone can be the enjoyer? i.e. iam having a envious mentality towards Lord and His devotees.I dont know how this mentality has come within me. This has ruined my entire devotional attitude & now iam in a condition that at anytime i may fall from this path. But i dont want to give up this path. I will be so indebted to you if u save me from this problem(enviousness) so that once again i will continue my loving devotional service to my Lord & His devotees in a mood of a menial servant.I beg u to give me the right solution becoz i donot want to giveup krsna.
Also plz suggest me any books by prabhupad which deals more on this subject(envy).If u have any archives of prabhupad writings related to this topic plz attach with ur message.

cure for envy is to do practical service to those who you envyalso in our conditioned state we cannot apreciate everyone, so we must seek the ones we naturally admire and serve them.

Good Japa also helps :)user [154] · 2007-10-22
You should cherish the times when you feel the opposite...user [2] · 2007-10-22
mayas double coup: first makes you fall or feel fallen, then (and foremost) separates you from the association of devotees. The latter is the real fall, cause then there is no chance to recovery.user [154] · 2007-10-22
On the other hand you should apply No Pain No Gain approach and then the taste will appear, in exact proportion to your painful endeavor. You should not however embrace any other association besides the devotee association, that when you should apply No Pain No Gain. Remember that its not essential to have taste to have faith, its essential ot have association of those who have faith, ie vaisnavas.user [194] · 2007-10-22
The cure would be ,imho,to do humble service at the ashram,clean the floor,wash pots,serve prasadam or distribute books..no matter what your position is or was before: the King of Orissa sweeps the streets in front of Lord Jagganatha each year!.humble services should clean the heart,though it may take some time...user [2] · 2007-10-22

Do your japa attentively and completely ignore what your mind tells -- if it says that you are envious of the Lord and his devotees -- let it be. If you continue doing your service and associating with the devotees and most importantly your Japa, things will soon turn around. The key thing is not to listen to your mind -- if you are so envious of Lord Krishna and his devotees, how come you are concerned about it and are looking for a solution? That alone shows that you are a devotee!user [131] · 2007-10-22
