Hare Krishna dandwat pranam PAMHO
Actually I am a student preparing for JEE entrance exam, actually when I was in 10th I used to feel so dedicated so excited and passionate in studies and experiencing high burning desire to perform well and I did perform very well in 10th and secured 1st rank, but as soon as I started my JEE preparation what happened to me I don't know but my dedication, passionate attitude, burning desire kind of lost. Though I am very interested in engineering field but still I am not at all getting the burning desire to do it or passionate attitude to do it.
I am doing chanting since my mid of 9th std and recently while hearing a lecture prabhuji said that desires will come and go but we shall perform it as duty by following bhakti routine and than dedication will come automatically. I started following bhakti routine (waking at bhrahma murat, attending online japa session, and at study breaks hearing to the lecturs or bhakti related content, and regular physical exercise) I tried to follow every step for almost 3 months but still I haven't experienced that 'duty attitude' or dedication, also I am still not experiencing burning desire and also not able to perform that well in academics. Also I have family pressure, expectations of good performance as my frnds are also performing well, etc. I am feeling very depressed and confused that though I am trying to follow and do good, but still experiencing no dedication no burning desire to perform excellent etc.
(I know that if I got that desire to do very good or perform very good i can do it without any excuse but lack of desire is somewhat the reason too of not able to perform that well)
- Plz plz plz guide me my last hope is to just seek guidance from devotees. Plz reply 🥺 🙏
