Spirituality

I am practicing surrender in my day to day life to krishna bhagwaan. I try to surrender myself to him while doing any type kind of work during the day like be it office work or talking to someone over phone or personal meetings or even just being silent etc. After certain extent, my ego fights with it.

In the realm of the Absolute, there is no higher or

In this life, I am trying to move closer to God through spirituality , while many others are not making that effort. Since ultimately every soul will reach the Divine, whether in this lifetime or in future lifetimes, what difference does it really make if I begin the spiritual journey now while others begin later? What is the meaning or significance of starting early, if eventually everyone will reach the same destination?

People are in different stages of their evolution and each one must take their calling. One doesn’t send a one year old to school as
