"A person, who is always anxious to render service unto the Supreme Lord Hari, as His eternal servitor, in all conditions of life he is considered to be liberated even though within the material body.''

All our ailments are due to the external body.
Although we have to suffer some time from bodily inconveniences especially in the old age, still if we are God conscious, we shall not feel the pangs.
The best thing is therefore to chant the holy name of the Lord constantly.

If you analyze yourself very scrutinizingly then you will find that you are spirit soul.
How can you do it if you think of yourself, what you are, you will analyze that you are not this body, you are not this hand, you are not this leg, you are not this mouth, but you are something. And what is that something? That something is continuing. When you were a child that something was there, when you were a little more, a girl, then that same something was there and now you are a young girl, the same something is there, and when you will be old enough, the same something is there. Therefore next conclusion should be that even if you change to another body, that something will continue.
All this truth about the soul will gradually develop as you go on chanting Hare Krishna.

While chanting Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
you should always feel the presence of Krishna in Person
and as soon as you remember Krishna in Person
you can remember also about His talks with Arjuna.
If you cannot remember Krishna in Person
you should try to hear attentively the word Krishna, Hare as you go on chanting.

This world is just like a forest fire and a spiritual master is just like the cloud on the sky.
As the forest fire can be extinguished only by water from the sky,
one can be peaceful and elevated in spiritual consciousness or Krishna Consciousness
only by the mercy of a bona fide Spiritual Master.

One should always feel very humble, that will help one to make progress in Krishna Consciousness.
So your humble feeling that you are shrouded by illusion is very nice,
at the same time your feeling that Krishna Consciousness is so nice that it makes everything easy.
