From fear to love

The dragons of greed, lust, and other vices may roam freely in the territory of my king, my soul. I must take shelter of the dragon slayer. He will slay these demons in my heart.

When I can finally confront my fears and call their bluff, I will be able to see the light and the illuminated space of my heart.

It's spring cleaning time, and this cleaning is likely to last a lifetime. As I proceed to clean out the house of my heart, I am surely going to see lots of dust and cobwebs. And sometimes, even after I think I'm doing a pretty good job of it, I'm sure I'll see a dead rat under the cupboard, and it's going to freak me out. It will make me sad that even though I've been trying to clean so nicely, there is so much unexpected dirt. But I must not lose hope. I must stay fixed in my resolve to clean, never taking false security in being cleaner than before.

Dear Anarthas, I've declared war on you. I'm going to light up my heart with love for Krishna, and you better watch out, because he's coming for you.

He's coming..... :)
