No Yogic practice,
No study of sacred texts
Nor charitable acts will help you
In crossing the Ocean of Samsara,
But the service rendered to the noble. (Sanskrit Shloka)
(SSS Vol.37, p. 212)
You should pray to the Lord to give you the strength to bear all troubles and face all difficulties. If you have even an atom of Grace of the Lord, a mountain of troubles can be overcome. Chaitanya declared: ‘If a fraction of the time that is spent in worrying about wealth, provisions, wife, children, friends and business is devoted to contemplation on the feet of the Divine, one can face the messengers of death without fear and cross the Ocean of Samsara!’ (SSS Vol.22, p. 73)
