THE PRABHUPADA CONNECTION
.
Austerities and Penances Are Blessings
(Srila Prabhupada boarding the Jaladuta en route to America, August 13, 1965)

"I was on the sea for one month and ten days continually, and that was a horrible account. Perhaps you have read it in my diary which you collected in Vrindaban. So let us forget our past difficulties and in Krishna Consciousness, if anyone faces difficulties, it is considered as blessings, because without tapasya, or voluntarily accepting some inconveniences, nobody can realize the Transcendence. So when we are put into difficulties while discharging Krishna Conscious duties, it is to be understood that Krishna puts us in a field of austerities and penances which help us making progress towards realization of our goal of life."

(Srila Prabhupada Letter, May 8, 1969)
