When we take birth in this material world we have a default psychological operating system known as material consciousness. While this operating system is adequate for pursuing the material goals of eating, sleeping, and defending, it's clearly an inferior grade operating system that is not adequate for giving complete peace, happiness and satisfaction to the living being who resides within the material body. For that an upgrade of consciousness is required to Krishna consciousness. This upgrade requires the guidance of an expert technician, who is known as the bona fide spiritual master. The bona fide guru or spiritual master is a highly trained technician who knows very well all the challenges and difficulties that we may face during a consciousness upgrade.He is competent to train you how to easily surmount them. The bona fide spiritual master does not require any money for his valuable service. He guides our upgrade of consciousness out of love because he understands fully well how miserable it is to remain stuck in material consciousness. While being upgraded to Krishna consciousness we must put full faith his guru because every frame of reference that one has while in material consciousness is now being upgraded and replaced with a new frame of reference. The end result of one who takes the upgrade to Krishna consciousness is a fearless eternal existence of never-ending, ever-expanding pure spiritual bliss and knowledge. Is the upgrade worth it? We encourage you to give a try and see for yourself. If you don't like it, you can easily go back to your original state of material consciousness. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. So why not give it a whirl and see what it is like? Joy can only be experienced when we offer our love to Krishna. A devotee is very forgiving and tolerant of others but is very strict and determined with himself guarding against Maya. Please accept my humble obeisances All glories to Srila Gurudeva ...
