Keep Your Mind Fixed on Kṛṣṇa

“Wander this earth at will, with your mind fixed on Me. May you always possess such unfailing devotion for Me.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.51.61, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Kṛṣṇa allows the King to wander the earth at will, with his mind fixed on Him.
  • The instruction is to remain inwardly focused on Kṛṣṇa wherever one goes.
  • Kṛṣṇa blesses the King with unfailing devotion. Steady devotional service, rather than any particular destination, is the goal.

Try this today

Before going somewhere today, pause briefly and remember Kṛṣṇa.

Ask yourself

How can I keep my mind on Kṛṣṇa as I move through today's activities?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.

From Canto 10, chapter 14 onward, the translation and purports were completed by Śrīla Prabhupāda's disciples after his departure, and published by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust.
