     14:01  Insofar as your material condition is concerned, generally that cannot be checked. You have to suffer. But in the case of a devotee, that suffering also can be stopped or minimized. Otherwise, Krsna's statement would be false: aham tvam sarva-papebhyo‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs

     13:45  No one can check your spiritual advancement. Try to understand this‎ diffhist +1‎ Nabakumar talk contribs
