Mukti· LiberationFixed Remembrance Deepens Love
“For you to remain in My bodily association would certainly not please people in this world, nor would it be the best way for you to increase your love for Me. Rather, you should fix your minds on Me, and very soon you will achieve Me.”
What the purport teaches
- Remaining in Kṛṣṇa’s bodily association would not please people in this world. The ladies’ own devotion and love would grow most effectively in separation.
- Kṛṣṇa asked them to continue fixing their minds on Him, as they had throughout their lives. He promised that they would very soon achieve Him.
- The Lord and His bona fide representative, the spiritual master, expertly engage devotees in different kinds of service. The purpose is to bring them quickly back to His lotus feet.
Try this today
Set aside two minutes today to fix your mind on Kṛṣṇa, following His instruction to the ladies.
Ask yourself
How can I continue remembering Kṛṣṇa when circumstances differ from what I desire?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
