mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat

kiñcid asti dhanañjaya

mayi sarvam idaṁ protaṁ

sūtre maṇi-gaṇā iva

Translation:

O conquerer of wealth [Arjuna], there is no Truth superior to Me. Everything rests upon Me, as pearls are strung on a thread.

Hare Krishna!

Im 17(M), soon to be 18.....I have been into Krishna Bhakti for about 1.5 years now, and I couldnt have done anything better. All my bad habits, including Eating meat, Habit of saying cuss words, masturbating and porn addiction which I had for 3 years, all has just with time vanished all thanks to Radha Maa Krishna Bhagwan.....

I however now feel that coming into a relationship in today's day and age is just like jumping into a pool of sins....Most relationships dont last long, Looks is the only reason why someone 'likes' someone, Lust has been normalised in name of intimacy, no trust, no real connection only for the sake of having fun (Only speaking for the vast majority of today's relationship scene, I dont mean to say every person is like this)

Now the question arises, does it really makes sense to come in a relationship with a girl/boy as a RahdhaKrishna Bhakt??? When a partner who is eternally there with you, the truest, purest, only form of actual love is with you and garuntees you a safe afterlife with him in Vaikuntha, why would one wanna come in a realtionship with humans at all???

But this thought of mine is contradicted by His Greatness Premanand Maharaj Ji, he tells that even if there is a slightest attraction towards opposite gender, one must go into Grihastha Jeevan.I myself am attracted to other girls, but I control my gaze and actions, but this feeling is still there. On top of it, I used to be a porn addict for years, it has damaged my thoughts and brain to an extreme level, which makes this more hard for me to handle this attraction.

Im not against idea of Marriage and Relationships totally, its just that, if there is no garuntee of a good person who lives life as a devotee, why would I wanna marry someone and be compelled to do sinful things before marriage, if she cheats on me, I cant even move on because you can only love 1 person with whole heart, no matter howmuchever they hurt you because its how it is for us Devotees, or else if we also move on and find other people every other dayy, whats the difference left??

As of now, I only have in RadhaKrishna, if they want, they will find me a person who is suitable....

what are your thoughts?

So God gives us all facility. We wanted to enjoy in a particular situation, and God gives us facility of that situation and gives also instruction, "Now you wanted." Just like one is very much addicted to eat flesh or blood. So God gives him the chance to accept the body of a tiger, and he's given all facilities, the nails, the jaws, and gives instruction, "Now you can enjoy." So He'll give us all facilities, but if you want His instruction, that what will be good for me, then He says, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekam [Bg. 18.66] = "You give up this business, simply surrender unto Me. I'll take protection."

Śrīla Prabhupāda's Lecture on Bhagavad-gītā 15.15 - August 5, 1976

Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu sent Nityānanda Prabhu from Jagannātha Purī to Bengal, which is known as Gauḍa-deśa, and Lord Nityānanda Prabhu overflooded that country with the transcendental loving service of the Lord.
