Faith in the Lord and the Process!

Verse 1.11.11 (Mohan Pr):
* Story from Panchatantra- sage going to village to beg for food. Mice, mouse eating the rice, raising the pot but still the mouse was able to jump into the pot
- moral: every person has some confidence, this depends on the strength he has, its his confidence. we put little faith on some reservoir that we have. most of the time it is the money. however sometimes, as this storage of the mouse, we lose it. then our life becomes weak. unless we increase our faith we will always be shaken up. first thing we need to do: increase our faith in the SPG.
* Unless we have faith there, we will have faith in material things and those will cause misery sometime or the other.
* Here, the residents of Dvaraka had so much faith in the SPG.
* Current examples: Srila Prabhupada, single handedly challenged the material world, because of his unflinching faith in the SPG. not even 1% less faith, complete surrender to the Lord that He will protect.
* Others: Vrindavan vasi's, Pandavas, so much surrender to the SPG, Sri Krishna. Arjuna killing Jayadratha, with the help of Sri Krishna.
* Second thing: understand the process and have faith in the process. Unless we have this, we will fall down. BG 2.40, nehabikramo....
Before Krishna speaks about Buddhi-yoga, He is glorifying it. That there is no loss in here. If we have little faith in DS and start off, we will definitely be pulled to success.
* So, we should have faith in the Lord and in the process, then we will surely be able to complete it up to the finish line.
