		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Even when we have turned away from Kṛṣṇa, we are unable to stop searching for him.&quot; That&#039;s so profound. 

Just today I was reflecting on how every relationship and pleasure of this mundane realm fails to truly satisfy us. 

I called to mind and recognized on a slightly deeper level that deep down insie I seek the taste of rasa, the intimate emotional exchanges between God and His devotees, the rarest commodity of the spiritual world, a vast, constant and ever increasing blissful experience. No wonder the mundane rasas of this world never measure up!

But, of course, the sad reality is that at the present moment I&#039;m unable to experience rasa in direct communion with the Divine. Yet I found solace and assurance in taking shelter of the katha-rasa available to me, and the hope of one day having a true experience of the Name... and, not to forget, the joy of reading your blog is a real support too! :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, Hare Krishna.  I wonder if I&#039;ll get to see Vrindavana and Mayapur before I die.  An unfavorable balance of laksmi and responsibilities, the hard struggle for existence in material world, makes it seem unlikely.  Perhaps when I find my bhakti, the passage will open.
