Today's Thought: |

The Grateful Taste the Lord's Sweet Love.
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram, Austin,
Texas USA |
|
|
The
basic problem plaguing and torturing the modern human
society is that we lack gratitude. We do not know
how to live gratefully. We do not feel duty bound to
reciprocate with the unlimited kindness that Krishna or
God is giving us at every minute.
We have no qualms about taking as much sense gratification
as want. But when it comes to giving back to that
Supreme Person, who is supplying us everything, we
either enviously deny His existence or pester Him with
our material desires. Thus we live miserly lives of
ingratitude. Note the connection between the word "miser" and the
word "miserable." It's our free choice to
either live gratefully or ungratefully. The miserable
ingrates have no one to blame except themselves. Those
who live gratefully taste the Lord's sweet loving
affection at every moment.

Question:
How to Be Joyful at Work? |
|
Your daily thoughts are
always joyful. You have written how you spend your day
in dedication to Krishna. How do we dedicate our mundane
jobs to Krishna and be joyful doing this work every day?
Your servant,
Manish.

Answer: Work Only for Krishna |
|
The way to
transcendentalize your job is to spend every penny you
earn for Krishna and not even one penny for sense
gratification. This means that you must transform your
home into a Krishna conscious ashram. In this way you
will be working to maintain a Krishna's ashram, not a
household which you consider to be yours. This means
that you must have a nice Krishna conscious program in
the morning and the evening in your home. Your entire
home must be Krishnized in every room with
transcendental artwork and transcendental literatures.
The center of attraction in your home should be a
beautiful Krishna altar always decorated with fresh
flowers. All of your food must be offered on that altar
before eating. No meat, fish, or eggs,. cigarettes or
alcohol should be present in your home.
You should be solidly fixed in chanting the Hare Krishna
mantra at least 16 rounds daily along with strictly
avoiding illicit sex, intoxication, meat eating, and
gambling. If you are thus fixed in your devotional
practice, you should take initiation from the bona fide
spiritual master.
At your office you should have a picture of Krishna
prominently displayed at your desk to remind you who are
working for. You should also have a copy of the
Bhagavad-gita on your desk so that when there is a break
you can read a verse. Have extra Gitas available for
interested co-workers who see your Gita and have
questions about it. Throughout the day always connect
everything with Krishna. For example, when you drink
some water remember that Krishna is the taste of the
water.
And then whatever extra funds you have should all be
donated to those who are spreading Krishna consciousness
all over the world.
If you will follow the above guidelines sincerely, you
will taste transcendental bliss even while you are
working in a mundane atmosphere.
