Most of you must have taken a resolve on the the eve of new year to do something. Something for improvement or change in our own self, in society or in nation or in the world.
But it's observed that very few people can stick to resolution, those promising resolutions fail before they ever really begin. Even those who follow their resolve properly hardly becomes successful in improving himself what to say of transforming or influencing others. If at all someone becomes successful in improving the conditions of society with his resolve it's temporary. So many resolutions are made but hardly we see any result, still suffering in the world exists, still people are in various anxieties, still people are fighting and killing each others in wars, still they behave worst than animals, so on and so forth. We don't see any change, any improvement then what's the use of such resolutions which neither create any good change in individual nor in community. Perhaps we are just making wrong resolutions.
What if there was one New Year’s Resolution that had the inherent ability to completely transform our lives? Instead of changing or improving something, what if we went to the core of all issues and we resolved it once and for all?
Practicing Bhakti is the only resolution that can create revolution in the heart as well as in the world. Core cause of all issues is forgetfulness of our real nature as a part and parcel of Krishna. When one practices the process devotional service he realises his true nature, his real self, his real identity, his relationship with the God as well as with every living entity. As soon as one understand that Lord Krishna is the enjoyer, master, proprietor of everything, He is the best friend of everyone then there can be real peace. At the end of the Gita, Sanjay speaks very relevant verse in this regard, he says, where there is Lord Krishna, where there is Arjuna(devotee) there will be unlimited prosperity, victory and morality. So until and unless one resolves to practice Bhakti his resolves will dissolve without having any effect on himself or on others it will be just a waste of time.
