Hare Krishna! We all are living in the realm of Maya which is more stronger than you think. If you consider that you can win over Maya with your own might and virtue, you are completely wrong. It is the power of Krishna that you derive from his holy name, which keeps you safe from the Maya.

So it is necessary to keep a guard on your thoughts and actions if you are not perfectly established in Krishna Consciousness because in the initial stages a devotee is prone to fall under the illusion of Maya. The guidance of a bonafide guru and faithful chanting can help you advance in the spiritual life.

When you follow the 4 regulative principals and chant hare Krishna mantra every day, the shackles of material world become loose and you begin to experience the ecstasy of divine love. But if you deviate from your path for a minute, the Maya will attack you with the redoubled power and once again make you a slave to the material things.That is why we should never miss our daily chanting of hare Krishna mantra, it is the only way to free yourself from the clutches of Maya.

But given our materialist nature at times we give priority to other things than the service of Krishna and this is when our degradation starts. No doubt we have job, family, finance and many other things to take care of in life, but they are better managed when we are engaged in the service of Krishna. You will not get lasting happiness and satisfaction with material objects, that is why spiritual practices are important.

Because of time constraint and responsibilities, you might miss chanting, but beware, you shouldn't lose interest in the Harinaam. Maya is very powerful and it has degraded many highly esteemed saints in the past so you should carefully chant hare Krishna mantra every day with great devotion.

Because of our constant engagement with material objects, we can not get free from the cycle of life and death unless we get the mercy of Krishna and his pure devotees. So chant hare Krishna Mantra and be happy.
