Answer
Arrey Baba, even 99.5% will eventually become 100%. Let Krishna decide—maybe in this life, maybe in the next. But one thing is certain: Krishna will never abandon you if you have reached 99.9%.
Why does it seem like He has “left”? Because a small independent desire still remains. Krishna never forces anyone to go back to Him. He gives full freedom. When you truly want to come, you will come—and when you come, you will come as 100% pure, without any other desires.
Ask yourself honestly: If I attain Krishna, do I need anything else?
When you are fully convinced of this, that is when you become completely pure.
As far as bodily and mental impurities are concerned, due to past karma, some residual effects may remain until death. But don’t worry—at the time of death, everything can be purified in a moment. If you have sincerely practiced—like chanting steadily—then by the mercy of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, you will be uplifted, purified, and taken back to Godhead.
Whether 0.5% or 25% remains is not the real issue. The real question is sincerity.
Do you truly want to go back to Godhead?
If not, it simply means some attachment to this material world is still there. That is due to past conditioning. You may feel, “I want Krishna,” but internally many subtle entanglements are still pulling you. Still, your struggle matters—that sincerity matters.
No matter how strong the entanglement is, if your desire for Krishna is genuine, then at the final moment Krishna will cleanse everything, and His devotee will carry you back.
Handling Obstacles in Material Life
Material obstacles are natural—even when you are trying to serve Krishna.
The key is this: remember Krishna in the middle of difficulty.
Krishna tells Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita:
Act under My guidance, dedicate your work to Me, and remain conscious of Me.
Any work done for Him becomes yajña (sacred offering).
When you remember Krishna amidst struggles, something powerful happens. Krishna says that by His mercy, you will cross over all obstacles.
What Actually Happens Internally?
You receive buddhi-yoga—divine intelligence.
Krishna, as the Paramatma within, guides you from inside. This guidance may not come as a loud instruction like “Do this.” Instead, it appears subtly in your consciousness—as clarity, insight, or the right decision at the right time.
That is His guidance.
If instead we try to solve everything independently, we struggle more. But if you develop an inner dialogue—
“Krishna, please guide me. How do I handle this?”—
then guidance will surely come.
This never fails.
The Essence
All problems in life come down to three things:
Lack of power
Lack of knowledge
Experience of pain
Krishna is the source of:
All power
All knowledge
All love
So when Krishna enters your consciousness, solutions naturally arise.
Your intelligence (buddhi) connects with His infinite intelligence—that is buddhi-yoga. And through that connection, you cross all obstacles.
Final Practice
So the real practice is simple:
Stay sincere in your desire for Krishna
Remember Him especially during difficulties
Ask for guidance from within
Depend on His intelligence, not just your own
Do this steadily—and you will see that obstacles no longer block your spiritual progress; they actually deepen it.
