Sadhu Vani

[How to perform devotional service in this material world] Lord Chaitanya generally stayed aloof from worldly association and avoided close dealings with materially opulent persons. He was especially pleased to see devotees like Sanatana Goswami living with only bare necessities, even giving up fine clothing. If becoming dear to Nitai Gauranga means living with such simplicity, then in a city like Bangalore, where life is filled with EMIs and so many practical responsibilities, how should we plan and prepare ourselves to become dear to Them? Sometimes I feel disgusted and disappointed with how entangled my life has become, and I do not see any possibility of coming out of it in the near future.
