Mukti· LiberationRemember Kṛṣṇa to Become Absorbed in Him
“The mind of one meditating upon the objects of sense gratification is certainly entangled in such objects, but if one constantly remembers Me, then the mind is absorbed in Me.”
What the purport teaches
- Thinking repeatedly about objects of sense gratification makes the mind attached to them. Constant remembrance of Kṛṣṇa instead absorbs the mind in Him.
- Mechanical worship alone does not bring complete transcendental knowledge of Kṛṣṇa. One must endeavor constantly to keep Him within the mind.
- Devotional service begins with hearing and chanting, from which remembrance develops. Constant remembrance qualifies one for personal service to the Lord in His own abode.
Try this today
Set aside a few minutes to hear and chant Kṛṣṇa’s glories, then recall them once later today.
Ask yourself
What do my repeated thoughts reveal about where my mind is becoming attached?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
