There is no enjoyment better than enjoyment first offered to Krishna. Of myself I am nothing in this material world, just a bag of flesh blood and bones trying to hold on to temporary matter for fulfillment. When I put god first, when I ask for guidance, the magic happens. But for the grace of Krishna, there go I. When this is clear, and I am walking the walk in faith and trust, then I am free from the bondage of the false self.
