While prosecuting spiritual life, we should be very cautious to not have circumstances take our attention away from what our purpose is. We should stay fixed in our purpose: vyavasayatmika buddhir ekeha kuru-nandana. What is that purpose? That buddhi is Krishna's happiness. We are the servant. Krishna is the master. We want to be situated in our relationship of servant unto the master.
