Devotional activities in the association of devotees, increases the concentration of our mind.
Like a fan regulator regulates the amount of air being released, our mind regulates our communication with the Lord Who is then revealed in different degrees.
Hear, chant, remember; crying like a baby. If your mind is going elsewhere then you have another exercise to do. Drag it back, bring it back. Take the help of the intelligence.
A devotee should be simple and clean dressed, but more than dress, the mind should be clean.
HH Lokanath Swami Maharaj
We accumulate many thoughts, even during sleep. Out of all those numerous thoughts, only thoughts related to Krishna should be allowed to settle in. Make them our property and others, neti-neti, you get out of here, get out of here.
Love is divine. Love is something out of this world. Love is on the level of the soul. One soul loves the other soul and all the souls love the Supreme Soul and the Supreme Soul loves all the souls. That is love, that is loving dealing, loving reciprocation, which we miss a lot here in this material world.
A person can only be content when his soul is satisfied. In Krishna consciousness you can be satisfied. The soul is satisfied, then the mind is satisfied, the body can also be satisfied and kept happy with just a few needs.
It is already day and night, rich and poor, man and woman, you go on adding. There is a big list of dvandva, duality of this material existence. And on top of that, we add one more: his disciple, my disciple, your disciple, this guru, that guru. This is yet another dimension of duality.
The mind is the principal cause of bondage and the same mind also could become the cause of our moksha, liberation. So this mind factor is a very meagere factor in our lives. In fact, we are governed by the mind’s dictations, knowingly or unknowingly we will follow them all the time.
