Sree
Sree Guru Gaurangau Jayatah!
There
are two paths: ”Pravritimarg” (Path through married life) and
”Nivritimarg” (Path through unmarried – ascetic life). Generally people are
eligible for "Pravritimarg". Persons who have made up their minds
that they will never go to house hold life (worldly life) are only competent to
take the ascetic order.
You
should not wait for your decision that in future whether you will accept
married life or unmarried life, you should start Bhajan immediately (Chanting
of the Holy Name, etc. avoiding tenfold offenses) because, nobody knows when we
shall have to leave this world. When Srimad Raghunath Das Goswami was very
eager to surmount this worldly ocean, Lord Sree Chaitanya Mahaprabhu pacified
him by first saying that he should not become mad, and that at present he
should remain in his house with a restful mind. Nobody can surmount the ocean
of births and deaths all of a sudden, it will take time. Gradually he can
surmount it. He should not try to show outwardly his indifference to worldly
affairs; inwardly he should practice abnegation and worship Sree Krishna with
sincerity. Sree Krishna will rescue him from the pangs of worldly suffering in
no time.
