The Recipe for Ultimate Success
uploaded from Melbourne, Australia |
|
|

 The
key to reviving your lost loving relationship with
Krishna or God is simply to follow the instructions that
He gives in the Bhagavad-gita. Just as to bake some
banana bread you must carefully follow the recipe given
in the cookbook in order to get proper banana bread, in
a similar way if you will simply do exactly what Krishna
says in the Bhagavad-gita, you will experience the most
amazing transformation of entering in the spiritual
world within your heart even while you externally act
dutifully and successfully in the material world.

Question: How to Think of Krishna Always? |
|
|
Dear Sri Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
My question is about my mind. I find it very difficult
to control it.
When I sing kirtan at the temple with other devotees or
see Krishna photos I literally start crying and unable
to control. I think to myself as to why I am not
becoming a 100% devotee of Krishna (thinking about Him
always). But in the next hour when I come back home from
the temple I start thinking about my mundane activities.
Please guide me in controlling my mind and thinking
about Krishna always.

Answer: For Now Focus on
Attaining the Nistha Stage |
|
|
It is natural for a
neophyte devotee to have a wavering mind that is
sometimes absorbed in Krishna consciousness and
sometimes in mundane nonsense. What you need to focus on
for now is how to come to the nistha stage of bhakti in
which your meditation on Krishna is hardly interrupted.
To get to the nistha stage you need to chant 16 rounds
daily of the Hare Krishna mantra and strictly avoid
illicit sex, meat eating, intoxication, and gambling.
Then you need to take initiation from the bona fide
spiritual master and under his guidance become free from
all material contamination. In this way you will come to
stage of firm faith or nistha in which your mind is free
from the from the influence of the modes of passion and
ignorance and is almost always fixed nicely in Krishna
consciousness. Of course from that point there are even
higher stages. But the attainment of nistha is what you
need do focus on for now.
