    Question: You said when we need encouragement we should go and talk to a senior Vaishnav.
    00:00:13
    But sometimes you feel that you don't want to disturb them with your problems and I just don't go. And after some time - maybe weeks or years - I find solution to my problem, but I'm wondering if I went and talked to somebody, some senior Vaishnava - maybe it would be different? So I don't know how to decide - if I should go or if I should just wait a little bit. Bhakti Lalita:
    00:00:47
    Well, all the senior vaisnavas that i know are always happy to help the devotees. Happy to be of encouragement, happy to answer questions, problem solving
    00:01:10
    And we wan't to be sensitive, what's to going on , what if, you now, like, senior vaisnav who approach are they busy, are they sick, we have to be a little sensitive to that, but at a good time, we can approach and take some advise and humbly, affectionatly approach them, you'll finally be happy to help.
    00:01:54
    So, it's better we receive encouragement we need instead of just suffering alone and maybe be problems will never be solved on our own. We have a system , taking help for superiors. It's our culture.
    00:02:25
    It's a lovind exchange within devotee association. Six loving exchanges- reaviling on mind in confidence, heared confidenceally. We hear confidential and we speak confidentially to the devotees. We offer prasadam, we accept prasadam. We offer gifts, we accept gifts.
    00:02:55
    This is six loving exchangeses. Given by Srila Rupa Goswami. That's how we ralate within vaisnav culture. So, it's natural and it's within our ways of relating to each other, to reveal all minds. Can be confident, we can do that.
    00:03:25
    Question:(Can not hear) We have to trust them and we also reveal what we're comfortable to reveal, we ready to reveal, can reveal that.
    00:03:49
    It's not like a long they we have to follow, it's voluntary, loving exchange, it's there for you need it, if toy want it, but it's not enforced.
    00:04:10
    It's just a hopeful option for you. When you ready, when you want it, when you need it. The vaisnavas aren't there ready to help.
    00:04:29
    And you may have a idea senior vaisnavas and go to who you're comfortable with. Unnatural or you couldn't naturally have loving exchange with. You have a choice in your own time, when you fill a necessity.
    00:04:57
    So, looks like that. It's not a mechanical thing. No wretchedness within that exchanges, spaced on love and affection. So, like that.
