Why do i need all these things. I mean if you listen to any of the airwaves now days they will introduce you to unlimited ideas and worries that you never need and knew you needed to have and that you get to carry around. It's clutter you don't have to have it. You're human being just soul in a human body just passing through this world and the shastras already given their complete permission to not concentrate on all the chatter. You have full permission not to tune into cnn, specially on fox or any of the other frequencies in this world that simply give you anxiety. You have permission you're liberated. Don't collect this clutter don't collect it externally don't collect it internally, this is a practice that anyone can take up in their life and feel satisfied. It's a rage right now in japan somebody wrote a book about living a zen-like existence get rid of all your stuff that you don't need and see how you feel. See if you're not more focused when you get rid of all this stuff - maybe i'll use this in a year, it's a broken blender, my brother-in-law said he has a cousin who has a friend who lives in new york that he knows somebody in philadelphia who can fix it and therefore i'm holding on to it because it may have some value. If your are being chased by a tiger you have to go across the river you drop everything so you can swim faster. So think like that and also realize the fact that as you shed a lot of the extra things that you have in your life, you'll see actually that krishna is supplying everything anyway.
