Depending too much on Krishna

Hare Krishna!

Dandavat Pranam to all devotees.

Recently--especially for the past few months--I've been feeling like I'm depending too much on Krishna. In the sense that, even for the smallest of things, i reach out to him.

To the point it feels like I'm being a burden on Krishna for asking too much. I'm not very interested in monetary gain or anything of that sort so I don't really pray to him for getting any such gain----but when it comes to things like getting me out of stressful situations, helping me out in projects and endeavors, or full filing desires like avoiding plans which I don't want to be part of, etc, I can't help but pray and reach out and rely on him for everything.

I want to know if such a situation would cause any hindrance in progressing with Bhakti, and if I might be being a burden to Krishna by asking for so much.

Hare Krishna,

If you asking petty things to be solved by Krishna it is not worth to ask. Krishna is Supreme Personality of Godhead. These small things usually settle down on their own. We are facing stressful conditions because of our Prarabdha karma... but again Krishna can reduce the burdensome conditions if you request HIM to do it. If you consider HIM as God then, surely it is too small to ask such things from Krishna as time solves these things on their own.

Krishna wont feel burdensome at all.....only if you consider HIM as your best friend thats the condition.

If you have a best friend you can ask advice, small help at times but again. . if He is a friend you also must do something for Krishna as He is ur bestie. isn't it?

what are you going to do to please your Best friend Krishna?

friend in need is a friend indeed. But this connection should be mutual. Hai na?

If I have a wealthy friend who hold a great position as well ... we do make use of him ..recommendation or fine word " Referrance"

But we have to give something in return as well.

lia hai to help kuch dena bhi banta hai.

kya dena hai aapko apne mitr ko?

tumhara mitr Krishna tumhari itni sahayata jo kar rahe hai. ummmmmmm?
