Question 1
How can we become determined and courageous?
We must hear krsna-katha from the Lord’s agent. While hearing krsna-katha we have to lock up our worldly experience and arguments. By hearing the powerful glorious topics of the Lord from a living saintly person, all our anarthas—our weakness of heart—are destroyed and our heart is filled with strength. Then our nature, which is to surrender to the Lord, will be awakened. In the surrendered heart, the self-manifest truth of the transcendental kingdom will automatically manifest. This is how to know the truth. It is impossible to know the Absolute Truth by any other means.
