Crying real or sentimental?

Devyah-pati Das SERBIA - February 8, 2010 9:58 am

I have materialy soft heart. I cry easily when I see or hear

something that, according to material estimation is sad.

 

On the other side I also cry sometimes in connection with

Krsna consciousness. Some time ago I came to the

conclusion that when I am crying over something connected

with Krsna it is only sentimental material crying, and most

probably I should surpress it, since I am not pure in heart

and this crying has no real spiritual value.

 

Sridhar Maharaj said - "Cry because the tears are not comming."

 

In this context, I think - Just let me cry if I feel crying for

Krsna since it is good even if it is sentimental.

 

All in all, since I am not pure, should I cry for Krsna at this stage

anyway, or not, before real natural crying for Krsna appear in the

heart?
