mahak-maybe not
Haribol, I would have great concern if anyone wrote "I passed the test!" Admission of failure in pleasing Krsna is nothing different than Arjuna falling down on the chariot as he viewed his adversaries, so wear failure like a badge, and pray that we never feel false confidence. Hare Krsna, ys, mahaksadasa |

However,
don't overdo it with the I am a failure... "Oh, I am so fallen. I am the scum of the earth.. I am not fit to walk in your shadow....I am worm in stool...blah blah blah." Acid test....made me think of kool-aid....LOL...eeeekkk...flashback!!!

not overdo, not humble either-mahak
Reminds me of the devotee who always went around, saying I am so fallen, I am the most wretched, etc. Srila Prabhupada kindly corrected him, saying "The habit of thinking in terms of superlatives. No, you are not the most anything, you are simply insignificant." |

insignificant
jaya! I should've explained what i was meaning, I didn't mean like Lord KRSNA has gave me a test (i probably missed it anyway lol), I guess KRSNA just wants us to rely on Him more, or me on Him, so things can be made more easy, make sense? |

Asking for help is easy. I find expecting to receive help is the difficult part. This is especially so with asking people for help, especially material help, for me. |
