A person who was Mayan Ammani became a devotee chanting the name of the saviour how can we help them? yes this will take time somebody comes from scientific background that person may have a very analytical nature anything that doesn’t make scientific sense that will always keep opening oh there is this scripture of Jambudvip there is this scripture of Padmavali how can it make sense? so we all come with some particular baggage and when we come with that baggage that creates certain difficulties for us in the practice of ashram yoga so we have to be sensible like when you when we go when we go through immigration at that time there is security check and then they tap the body checking the head so at that time they ask do you have any sensitive spots? do you have any spots where if you have done some surgery or done something so if you have sensitive spots they will not tap or touch over there so like that all of us have certain sensitive spots and anything that taps or touches those sensitive spots we have to be careful it is going to create some extraordination just like Mukti Pada that itself was a sensitive spot so in this case it was the opposite reaction it just wanted to reject everything in person Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said that is also not healthy so Radha Grace of you Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said Grace of the impersonal ideal Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said no don’t be like that Radha so it is just a sensitive spot we have based on our past condition and we need to deal with it appropriately so especially if we find some doubts coming up we need to associate with the devotees who have studied the repetition of impersonalism deeply and gave deeper answers that is one thing if it is intellectual thing if it is more of an emotional thing then we can try and study those pastimes of Krishna which evokes spiritual emotions within us and cherish those pastimes when we sing Vaishnava songs which evoke the mercy of Krishna those songs can also help us become more and more attracted to Krishna and thus we can actually move closer and closer to him so each of us will have some sensitivities and we have to deal with them appropriately that can involve deepening our intellectual conviction or triggering our spiritual emotions as is appropriate
