Keep Your Life as Simple as Possible

By
its very nature material existence is very complex and
problematic. We are constantly tormented by so many
difficulties such as birth, death, old age and disease.
Therefore we should simplify our lives as much as
possible by keeping our material arrangements to the
bare minimum so that we can free up as much energy as
possible to be absorbed in hearing, chanting, and
remembering the wondrous Lord Sri Krishna on a regular
daily basis.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: |
|
|
Question:
Better to Work or to Renounce Work? |
|
Why
does Lord Krishna consider working in devotion to be
better than the renunciation of work?
R.P.
|
|
Answer: It's Better to
Work for Krishna. |
|
Working in
devotion is better than renunciation of work because the
idle mind is the devil's workshop. Since the living
entity is active by nature both mentally and physically,
to stop acting and stop thinking is an artificial
position, which cannot be maintained. Therefore instead
of trying to become free from material existence by
artificially trying to stop acting and thinking, one can
be immediately liberated from material existence simply
by engaging in devotional service to Lord Sri Krishna.
This is confirmed by Srila Rupa Goswami as follows:
īhā
yasya harer dāsye
karmaṇā manasā girā
nikhilāsv apy avasthāsu
jīvan-muktaḥ sa ucyate
"One
who engages in the transcendental service of the Lord in
body, mind and word is to be considered liberated in all
conditions of material existence."--Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu
1.2.187
Since even to maintain this material body. work cannot
be given up, the best system for both material and
spiritual success is to absorb one's life fully in acts
of devotion to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord
Sri Krishna.
