We can
improve our spiritual life by starting from where we are and then going
further, step by step. We can start small. Improvements may be small, but
constant.
If we just give attention to what really matters in our practice of
bhakti-yoga, we will make advancement. We can improve our sadhana. We can make
a plan to rise early, and take steps to make sure it happens. Have a good alarm
clock, or someone who is regulated and is willing to wake us up. Most important
is to go early to bed.
We can
improve our japa, for example, but keeping a Japa Quality Journal. Write down
every day how you did in the morning. Assess yourself. Give it attention.
Sixteen good rounds are the most important thing. Chant along with Srila
Prabhupadas' tape, at least sometimes.
Read every day, at least a verse and a
purport. Write down the main point. Write what you can apply tomorrow from the
text you've read.
In this way we can renew our enthusiasm every day and have a
strength to start developing nice devotional relationships with authorities and
other devotees. And we can nicely cooperate in the mission of spreading
Krishna consciousness all over the world.
