Why relationships are so tuft to maintain?

why relationships r difficult to maintain???

if we serve it is not at all difficult. We have to make our own nature as our own habit. And our own nature is to serve not to be god. So serving we will have very nice relationships with everyone. Serving with love and devotion.

but in material relationships i found that no one could be happy with ur service

then serve to Devotees Prabhu

then what about for grahstha persons mataji

but i have a question!! Is it important for male devotees to have shikha nd to wear tilaka daily??

in grihastha life also service attitude should be the base of that ashram. Or else distress after distress.

Shikha? Better to have. But if You feel dis comfortable then do not have it Prabhu. Desire and courage of having will come by the increase of Your devotion and surrender. Your servant,

Hare Krsna Prabhuji,

Material relationships are tough because if it was easy and people were happy in their relationships, then nobody would question and attempt to go back home, to Godhead. It is said about material relationships that regardless of the amount of time, emotions, finances or effort one puts in any relationship, one always turns out to be a loser and there is a lot of heartbreak. It is true for all kinds of relationships and for both the parties in a relationship.

On a philosophical note, we are all incomplete living entities. Because we are incomplete, our relationships are also incomplete. You can yourself examine and see for yourself - amongst all the persons you know in the world, say 100, how may are perfect according to you. The answer will be 0. Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them. And that feeling of perfection remains only till the person marries you. It is said na - love is blind and marraige opens the eyes.

THe more we invest in a relationship, the more our expectations increase and the more our disappointment. Even in Grihasta life, one has to remember that no one can fully satisfy us nor we can fully satisfy anyone else. The way to make a relationship complete is to keep Krsna in the centre of the relationship. We have to remember that we are role playing, of husband wife, mother in law - daughter in law, of mother child, that actually we have come together to help each other in serving Krsna. When Krsna is in the middle of any relationship, the relationship becomes complete. That is not to say at all that there will be no problems or that there will be no heartburn. At each such event, we will be able to dissociate ourselves and think - this is Krsna's way of keeping us detached so taht the only attachment is to Krsna.

Now how to keep Krsna in the centre - early morning mangalarti for the full family, making only Krsna prasadam in the house, inviting devotees and having spiritual programs, watching lectures or mayapur.tv at home as a family activity, reading scriptures like Gita and Bhagawatam together. It was said in earlier days - a family that prays together stays together.
