There sure are a lot of complexities in life, don't you think? Two people do. When all else fails and everything else will, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. So, what if you have the worst job in the universe? Or what if you're not sure if you should stay in one place or move to another place? And how about if you got really bad advice and then, worse still, you acted upon it? Any of those things ever cross your path? One or more? More? More than one? Worst job ever? Got bad advice and you acted upon it? Or you're not sure if you should stay or go?

The solution: Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. The worst job in the universe:the prostitute who was deployed to dissuade Haridāsa Ṭhākura from chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa—she had the worst job ever. And then when she realized that she did, what was the advice that Haridāsa gave her? Correct, ten. How about Kūrma brāhmaṇa? He wasn't sure—should I stay here or should I go with the sannyāsī? And what did Caitanya Mahāprabhu tell him? Stay on, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, and teach everybody else to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa.

And what about Mṛgāri? Did he get bad advice? What was the advice his father gave him? Half kill animals—don't kill them all the way, just half kill them and let them writhe in pain. Is that the worst advice that any father has ever given a son? Say yes. When Nārada Muni met him, what did he tell him to do? Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa.

So, if you've got any complexities in life because of bad association, bad advice, just bad karma—everything can be overcome by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. Gaur premānande! Haribol!
