Mukti· LiberationGradually Absorb the Mind in Kṛṣṇa
“A person should be attentive and grave and never lazy or morose. Mastering the yoga procedures of breathing and sitting properly, one should practice fixing the mind on Me at dawn, noon and sunset, and thus gradually the mind should be completely absorbed in Me.”
What the purport teaches
- One should be attentive and grave, without becoming lazy or morose.
- The Lord instructs one to master the yoga procedures of breathing and sitting properly, and to fix the mind on Him at dawn, noon and sunset.
- Through gradual practice, the mind should become completely absorbed in Him.
Try this today
At the next dawn, noon or sunset, set aside a brief, attentive moment to fix your mind on Kṛṣṇa.
Ask yourself
How could regular times for remembering Kṛṣṇa help steady your mind?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
