You wrote: 鈥淗ow much longer will I have to suffer?鈥� True and proper service to Hari is accomplished by giving the love you have inside, and guru and 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉 are always exceedingly satisfied with that. Those who have wealth serve by that means, and those who do not have wealth will serve with their lives, intelligence, and words. This has been delineated in scripture.

If you do not have books and whatnot, I will provide you with them. You do not need wealth to chant 丑补谤颈苍腻尘补 and hear 丑补谤颈-办补迟丑腻. What is needed for that is patience, enthusiasm, faith, determination, and devotion. That way one can properly associate with 蝉腻诲丑耻蝉 and engage in 苍腻尘补-办墨谤迟补苍补 and the other five predominant limbs [of bhakti].

I am happy to know you are now studying in twelfth grade. In the future, ultimate well-being (办补濒测腻峁嘺) will be yours. Your studies and classes will prove very beneficial when you have to deal with the pressures of further studies and employment. This is because 鈥渘o one gets happiness in this world without suffering, do they?鈥� And 鈥淵ou will only find Ke峁ａ弓a (碍峁涐梗峁嘺) if you undergo a bit of 办补峁ａ弓补 (蝉耻蹿蹿别谤颈苍驳).鈥�

Only that which is earned through struggle endures forever.

鈥淥ne should spend the month of 碍腻谤迟颈办补 delighting the Lord with musical recitations.鈥� 

This statement instructs us to dance, sing, and play instruments before 艢r墨 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 during this time. That, without a doubt, constitutes service to Him, and it is by such activity that one avoids rebirth. It is taught that 尘峁沝补峁単补 drums, 尘补帽箩颈谤腻 and 办补谤补迟腻濒补 cymbals, conchshells, bells, gongs, etc. are to be used by 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉. Foreign instruments have 谤腻箩补蝉颈办补 and 迟腻尘补蝉颈办补 qualities that make them tauryatrika^[1]. They have an intoxicating quality, and that is part of pleasure and sport. 

Distributing 尘补丑腻-辫谤补蝉腻诲补 and accepting it certainly effects the welfare of the soul and conquers the senses.

鈥淲hen one serves 尘补丑腻-辫谤补蝉腻诲补, all this bondage of material existence is vanquished.鈥�

Only those who are able will donate rice and they can donate ghee and camphor for offering lamps. If the living entity does not hear hari-办补迟丑腻 and take 诲补谤艣补苍补 of 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫补蝉, he meets with the opposite of well-being. That is what is conveyed in 碍腻谤迟颈办补-尘补丑腻tmya. One must take birth in animal species if one does not perform bhajana of Hari. It has been determined that during the month of 碍腻谤迟颈办补, one should observe 驳辞-驳谤腻蝉补, which means putting one鈥檚 meal on the dirt or cement and eating it from there. This directive is especially for renunciates. 鈥� Iti鈥�

Your eternal well-wisher,

Tauryatrika^鈥� 迟奴谤测补 (musical instrument) + trika (three)鈥搑efers to the 鈥渕usical triad鈥� of song, dance, and instrumental music. Manu- 蝉尘峁泃颈 (7.50) lists tauryatrikaalong with hunting, gambling, sleeping during the day, engaging in criticism, illicit sex, intoxication, and listless wandering as activities born of lust or a craving for pleasure (k膩maja). K墨rtanathat is not performed exclusively for the pleasure of 艢r墨 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍, but for one鈥檚 own sense gratification, culminating in a partying mood, falls in this category.
