O best among the Bharatas [Arjuna], four kinds of pious men render devotional service unto Me--the distressed, the desirer of wealth, the inquisitive, and he who is searching for knowledge of the Absolute. BG 7.16

This verse speaks to me in particular right now. While I may only appear inquisitive or searching for knowledge on these boards, in actuality I feel distressed much of the time, that I cannot always answer these questions to my complete satisfaction.

In a way that is a good thing. Perfect certainty is never good. But, I still often feel distressed, and pray for Krsna's mercy.

Thank you Kismet :)

I love Narasimha Stuthi :

How can I, who was born in a ferocious asura clan,
Expect to please you, when you were not pleased,
By Brahma, other devas, sages and Sidhas,
Who were all steeped in Sathwa qualities,
Using the torrential flow of words,
Which describes your great qualities.
...

Oh invincible lord, I am not at all afraid of your this form,
Which has fearful toungue, with sun like eyes, horrifying looks,
Fierce teeth, with blood drenched flying red manes,
Erect ears and claws that tear the enemies,
Along with the intestine garland that you are wearing,
All of which even makes the elephants guarding the directions scared.

But I am definitely afraid, Oh lover of the oppressed,
Of the terrible suffering involved in this cycle of births and deaths,
Since I am tied by my own acts and thrown amidst blood thirsty demons,
And oh shining one, be pleased with me and when are you,
Going to call me near your feet, which would grant me salvation.

...

Oh Narasimha,in case you decide to completely neglect us,
Fathers would not be able to protect their sons,
No medicine would be able to cure any diseases,
No shipping vessel would be able to save one from drowning,
And without your grace one would not be able,
To get out or even destroy a very small sorrow,
And how can I get cured of this sorrow,
Of domestic life without your help?

...

So my lord I am not interested in those great pleasures,
Like long life, wealth and sensory gratification which even Brahma enjoys
And I also do not desire of getting mystic powers that are crushed by you as time,
But I request you to place me among your servant s.

...
