Keep the Mind Ready to Remember Kṛṣṇa
“When one’s mind is polluted, it is very difficult to remember Kṛṣṇa, and when remembrance of Lord Kṛṣṇa is hampered, one’s life is unproductive.
What the purport teaches
- When the mind is polluted, remembering Kṛṣṇa becomes very difficult.
- When remembrance of Lord Kṛṣṇa is hampered, one’s life becomes unproductive.
- A devotee should remain alert and keep the mind in a hopeful state so that Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa can always be remembered. The śāstras teach that one should always remember Lord Viṣṇu.
