Curb The Sin
If we don’t curb this symbol of sin, then it will destroy knowledge and self-realization.
If Hari Becomes Satisfied
If Hari becomes “santushta” or satisfied, then what we have done is perfect.
One Should Know The Mind
So the chanter of the holy name has to be also a student of the mind. A student of the mind doesn’t mean follower of the mind. It means one should know the mind. Study the mind, how it functions. Where does it reside? How does it work? Where does it fit into the hierarchy? Where are the sense? Where is the mind? Where is the intelligence? Where is the soul? Where is the Supersoul?
Entrusted Chanting
Due to laziness the mind doesn’t want to chant. Laziness could be of varieties. You should be around those who are enthusiastic. Then what happens? Chanting is enthused and your laziness runs away .
Chanting Out Of Humility
If we are chanting out of humility, thinking humbly that I am chanting by the grace of my superiors and my spiritual masters, by Krishna’s mercy, then this is a good kind of mentality.
Regulative Principles
When we are attracted by Krishna, or Krishna’s holy name, then we could kick the temptation to break the regulative principles.
The Real Goal
The whole world is engaged in hearing and talking and enquiries and dialogues. What if it is not about Krishna, God related, then it is just an invitation for death to come. So our goal is remembering the Lord always, that’s the goal. Especially at the time of death.
The Most Pure Personality
Deep within the heart there is so much dirt, but Srimad-Bhagavatam Katha, which is not different from the Lord, enters our heart. So wherever inauspiciousness is there within us, in our mind, in our consciousness, in our heart cleansing is done. And once we are clean, we are happy, we are pure and we get connected with the most pure Personality.
The Father of Sankirtana
Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the father of His Sankirtana movement of Congregational chanting and Congregationally hearing about Radha Krishna. So you will be able to give up this strong attachment to this world in so many forms.
