Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 13.138
Fill the Mind With Kṛṣṇa
“My dear Lord, kindly hear My true submission. My home is Vṛndāvana, and I wish Your association there. But if I do not get it, then it will be very difficult for Me to keep My life.
What the purport teaches
- A mind free from designations can desire the association of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- The mind cannot remain vacant; it needs something to think about, feel for and desire. Without thoughts of Kṛṣṇa and a desire to serve Him, material activities fill it.
- Giving up material activities should be accompanied by the continuing ambition to think of Kṛṣṇa. The submission here expresses that life without His association is unbearable.
