Question to Radhanath Swami: Is it the innate nature of the mind to be disturbed continuously and ultimately get depressed?

Radhanath Swami: It is the not the nature of the mind to pursue selfishness and egoism and thus experience frustration and depression in due course of time. It is the nature of the mind to pursue the needs of the soul and thus find peace, compassion, happiness and ecstatic enlightenment.

One of Lord Chaitanya's most wonderful pastime:

Each day after Mahaprabhu had accepted prasada at noon, Govinda (Mahaprabhu's personal secretary) would massage Him for a few minutes. After Gauranga had fallen asleep,Govinda would honour His maha-prasad remnants. But on the day of extended kirtana Gaurahari was so exhausted that on returning to His room He collapsed in the doorway.

Kṛṣṇa does not take account, God does not take account of the family of breeding. He's equally kind to everyone. You have seen t
