Close Relationship with the Lord
When I just joined the spiritual movement I believed Prabhupada and spiritual authorities so much, therefore I did what they asked. That was my success in book distribution. Senior devotees helped me, I was praying to scriptures, to Prabhupada, and they made me their instrument. I felt that it was not me who distributes books.

For some reason the rest of the sankirtana team was doing well, but I was really struggling. Every day kept getting more and more difficult until Saturday came.
