Guest guest Report post Posted July 24, 2003 Whenever I try to ask something from krishna , the opposite happens. For example, if I say I need a new part-time job with good salary, my boss decreases my salary by half! I say I want to work more for money for my college education, my employer says take some time off. She used to like me, now she almost hates me. I turn to krishna, but everything I ask will go into another direction. I say I don't want all these material desires for me, then I get tempted too much. I say I need to make money in the summer so that i can support my self (in the future) and pay for my college, but krishna made my employer almost fire me and decrease my salary in half. Is the life of all devotees like this or is it just that krishna personally hates me? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subala 1 Report post Posted July 24, 2003 If you sitting on a nail and praying to Krishna to help you. And you honest in your prayer. Krishna may showing you a way to different bench with cushion on it instead of nail. PS. on personal note - everytime I had problems before they were blessings 1-2 years later and best thing ever happened to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theist 1 Report post Posted July 24, 2003 You didn't ask too much. The answer is so nicely given there. I think gHari may have been refering to the original post. Not sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
