SRILA PRABHUPADA KI JAI! 

***MAYA WILL GO AWAY*** 

Viṣṇujana: How will it be possible, Prabhupada, for a man whose mind is clouded to constantly chant Hare Krsna? A man who's always thinking thoughts about family, friends, country, nation?

Prabhupada: Yes. Thinking of at the same time, chant. Two things will go on, and this (chanting) will conquer. (chuckling) As maya is forcing you to drag you from this Krsna consciousness, you also force maya by chanting Hare Krsna. There is fight. And maya will go away.

Daivi hy esa gunamayimam eva ye prapadyante (BG 7.14)

This maya is very strong. She'll force you to entice you to other path. But if you do not stop, if you chant loudly -- this is tug of war. So don't be afraid of maya. Simply enhance your chanting and you'll be conqueror. That's all. Narayana-parah sarve na kutascana bibhyati (SB 6.17.28). 

We are not afraid of maya because Kṛṣṇa is there. Yes. Krsna says, kaunteya pratijanihi na me bhaktaḥ pranasyati (BG 9.31). You just declare, "My devotee will never be vanquished by maya." Maya cannot do anything. Simply you have to become strong. And what is that strength? Chant Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, very loudly".... 68/12/23 Los Angeles, Bhagavad-gita 3.6-10
