We must never put our trust in this illusory energy. We must always understand the need of strictly surrendering to Krish na . And that is why it is so important to have a very disciplined, strict life; to keep that determination alive in our hearts. Srila Prabhupada used to tell us, "If you simply, strictly and attentively chant sixteen rounds every day; if you carefully follow the four regulative principles, if you carefully attend the Mangal Aarti everyday, if you carefully hear Srimad Bhagavatam every day, Bhagavad Gita everyday, if you carefully engage your mind in devotional activities, then (from) maya, with all her illusions and tricks, you will be protected. Because you will be aware, you'll be aware. But of course you have to be humble, because as soon as pride enters your heart you are no longer aware.
