10 offenses, how to avoid? Do I memorize the 10 offenses, and then scrupulously analyze my each and every utterance of Hari Nama in order to reject the negative impure and accentuate the positive? (no offense to Walt Disney)
I humbly posit that COMMITTMENT is the KEY to easy transition from offender to dearly beloved.
For example, if you had a wife or husband, however imperfect, but who showed absolute loyalty and devotion to you, would you not quickly forgive any offenses given due to innocent ignorance or even less-than-perfect character in this lifetime? But the same person, who displays a mood of diffidence and lack of committment, a selfishness bespeaking their true intent, one would feel as barbs, every slight.
I am sure the spiritual master easily forgives our foolishnesses, so long as we sincerely avoid deviation from his instructions and comitt ourselves to his eternal service, and then Krsna sees this sincerity, and He reciprocates, and thus, although the scrutinizing analysis is actually a very good thing, if one can achieve such faith as to committ, then that tidal wave of bhakti and mercy wash away the slight ripples created by foolishness and offenses unintended.
At that very moment that one has this change of heart from self-centred to Self -centred, then the offenses may be said to have long ago run away , feeling useless and unqualified to longer haunt such a pure heart.

,thank you to remind me to the necessity and value of commitment,
aAs you know the habit is the second nature of the soull therefore will take a little while once one is situated in the right track to understand that most of the time we are dealing with dead things. Personal experience is within the factor time. I mean I'm not far away to get complete detachment from matter free from enemies by getting steady to get that commitment done perfectly as my Vedic astrological calculation already predicted regarding the perfection of the soul through the original habit(ahaituki apratihata)by destroying the second nature habit of the anartho upasam saksad bhakti yoga adhoksaje lokasya ajananto vidvamsa,one become very learned in destroying all the anarthas by becoming conscious that this material body is ajananto in ignorance because is dead.
Is just question of time, as soon as one become fully conscious of this realization as soon as he engage full time in living things through guru sadhu and sastra seva&sanga, the transformation of vision and feeling of the daily brahma muhurta sadhana bhakti can change the heart an consciousness even in a kanistha adhikari,sudra, meleccha,candala, pulinda, yavana,etc...
SRI GAURANGA MAHAPRABHU don't look the temporary karma and body dress. If we kill a ant we are responsible of murdering , HE don't make any difference between the body of a ant and the human body said SRILA PRABHUPADA. once in Venezuela.
Of course the mercy is especially for the living entities who got the human form of life, because they can understand the urge of the necessity value of commitment. Go to preach among cats and dogs says SRILA PRABHUPADA but they can't understand, therefore I agreed with you about what you are saying here, and if we don't do it then we are not better then cats and dogs. Our only fortune and hopefulness is within that famous lava matra fraction of a perfect second in the glimpse of suddha nama,is taking a lava matra to become a pukka devotee. It may be will take more time if we not recognize the necessity value of commitment, but the guna and karma are changing through the constant daily sadhana bhakti. I got not doubts about it,all the foolishness stupidity bad dreams etc.. is flying away day after day until reach the fourth dimension free from dirty and dead things through a new heart stolen by our vidhunoti suhrit satam,
thank you for your satsanga agtys ys acsd haribol
Lou Prabhu, A.Bh.S., said; it's true. pamho!
pamho bh. lou prabhu agtACBSP.we got the lift through krsna consciousness that's :acaryavan puruso veda,we know things because we are connected with the divyan jnana of the acharyas which is connected directly with krsna knowledge therefore nobody can excel it,the knowledge is one and the guru is also one,if someone say I got more knowledge then you is like to kill the guru including the sadhu and sastra as vallabhacarya did by claiming that he was a better commenter on the SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM and SRI GAURANGA MAHAPRABHU castise him therefore the vallabhacarya sampradaya is not a bona fide sampradaya because they are too puffed up like their own guru,actually all this rubbish come up because one forget bheda abheda prakasa the oneness and simultaneously different tatastha sakti marginal energy of krsna,we are same quality of krsna spiritually and the bg said that without this realization one can't become free from sinful activities, one must realize what is alive and what is dead to deal through genuine spiritual progress,this knowledge and convinction come by be steady with the early daily sadhana bhakti because at the end of our troublesome journey in this planet of living dead the only thing remaining is the super wealth of the sa- super and dana wealth,of course it's spiritual it means got nothing to do with the material law under the influences of the factor time which take away everything therefore we need to become krsna conscious as soon as possible all the others things can wait but not krsna consciousness it's a emergency used to says SRILA BHAKTISIDDHANTA SARASVATI THAKUR PRABHUPADA,this emergency is to come alive again by discriminate between dead and living things,in this way one can keep the spirit of krsna consciousness keeping going by living forever,thank you for your satsanga agtys ys acsd haribol
