Today's Thought: |
|
When You Have Krishna You Have Everything
Uploaded from Sri Vrindavan Dhama | |
|
When
you have Krishna, you have everything. Anything
else you have may in this world is slipping through your
fingers. Today you may have it, but tomorrow you lose
it. Even if you are the most powerful, influential, and
wealthy person in the entire universe, your position is
only temporary. When all is said and done there is only
one thing that you can really possess, and that is your
Krishna consciousness. Therefore there is nothing more
important than awakening the Krishna consciousness that
is now sleeping in your heart.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: | |
|
Question: How to Work & Be Krishna Conscious? |
|
I have a
doubt...Earning money is essential to be able to live a
decent life. But earning means going into a company and
working with the materialistic people involved in
politics, cheating, jealously and other negative
emotions. When we spend 10-12 hrs in such a environment
it certainly contaminates our mind and is very very
disturbing.
I am in a dilemma...I have to earn money but at the same
time I do not want to work within such a contaminated
work culture. What do I do? Where do I work? Please
help.
About me...I have been working in a multi-national
corporation as an assistant manager for the past 5.5
years, and the way we are treated is very disrespectful.
I find it difficult to accept being treated like this or
see anyone being treated with disrespect. I have
therefore been on leave without pay for the last 5-6
months. But then I have to earn. But I can't even go
back to such a culture where people are only concerned
with money, promotions and are not even decent human
beings.
Please advise.

Answer: Work at Your
Present Job for Krishna |
|
Arjuna also wanted to quit
his job. A battlefield would not seem to be the best
place for transcendental meditation on the Supreme Lord.
But yet Krishna ordered him that he must execute his
professional duty and offer the results of his work to
Krishna.
You are like Arjuna in the beginning of the
Bhagavad-gita. You have dropped your bow and arrows and
you are refusing to fight for the sake of so-called
Krishna consciousness. You are forgetting that real
Krishna consciousness is to execute the service given to
you by Krishna or His representative, the bona fide
spiritual master, and offer the results of your work to
Krishna.
Therefore my best advice to you is that you must resume
your job and chant nicely at least 16 rounds of Hare
Krishna japa mala every day before going to your office.
You must also strictly avoid illicit sex, intoxication,
meat eating, and gambling. If you will seriously chant
and follow these principles, you will be fully protected
from the material energy even though you have to spend
many hours at work every day. In this way by good
sadhana and by performing the austerity of your job for
Krishna, you will make steady advancement in Krishna
consciousness.
If we work only for ourselves, no job will be
satisfying. But when we work for Krishna, any job will
be satisfying.
