 | REMEMBERING KRISNA WHILE WORKING Therefore we have to practice remembering Krishna always, twenty-four hours a day, by chanting His names and moulding our life's activities in such a way that we can remember Him always. How is this possible? The acharyas give the following example. A woman who is attached to another man is remembering her lover constantly but she is still carrying out her duties in her house, we should constantly remember the supreme lover, Sri Krishna, and at the same time perform our material duties very nicely. A strong sense of love is required here. If we have a strong sense of love for the Supreme Lord then we can discharge our duty and at the same time remember Him. But we have to develop that sense of love for Krishna. Arjuna, for instance, was always thinking of Krishna; he was the constant companion of Krishna, and at the same time he was a warrior. Krishna did not advise Arjuna to go to the forest and meditate. When Lord Krishna explained the meditational yoga system to Arjuna he says that the practice of this system is not possible for him. "Arjuna said, O Madhusudana, the system of yoga which you have summarized appears impracticle and unendurable to me. For the mind is restless and unsteady." (Bhagavad Gita 6.33) "Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare" |
