I'm rich

My initial understanding of anartha was all what I learnt in my moral science classes . No stealing, No hurting, No lieing etc..After coming to KC, 3 to 4 years ago when a devotee told me that we are filled with anarthas, I did not bother about it much, not because I agreed but my mentality was Iam good just that this devotee doesnt know :).

Then later as I started associating with devotees I realised anarthas list was not simple. It is such a huge list - False ego,Doubts, fault finding nature, enviousness, fear, challenging spirit, Duplicitous ,defending, desire for name and fame,Material attachment, Pride, speculative interpretation, Depression, self pity, sentimentality , anger etc.Now I understand Im very rich atleast in having these anarthas as I can see my name under each anarthas.

Anartha nivrtti process is also not so easy.Identifying, understanding, accepting and act according to the instruction given by seniors.Every step hurts. Tolerant devotees they know my anarathas and still adjust, acknowledge and try to engage me in my own Guru's service. 

Scripture says it is sheer mandate to come to the stage of anartha-nivritti, the stage where all

unclean things are cleansed from the heart.But prabhupada gives us a simple solution for all the anarthas in one shot - If one is actually executing devotional service,then anarthas, the unwanted things associated with material enjoyment, will automatically disappear.
