This meditation means to stop all nonsense work, sit down tightly? But those who are advanced in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, they have to work for Kṛṣṇa. Just like child, simply disturbing. The mother says: "My dear child, sit down here." But if he can work nicely, "Oh, yes," mother asks: "My dear boy, you have to do this, you have to do that, you have to do that." So sit down tightly for the nonsense, not for the sensible. For the nonsense, the more he sits down, at least he does not commit any nonsense, that's all. Negation of nonsense. That is not positive. Here is positive activities.

Kṛṣṇa consciousness engage means working, activity. Arjuna, he was declining to act, and Kṛṣṇa was enthusing him to act. This is the whole Bhagavad-gītā. Kṛṣṇa consciousness does not mean that no work. To engage yourself in Kṛṣṇa consciousness means to work—for Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa does not say—of course in this chapter Kṛṣṇa will say something about—He never says Arjuna, "My dear friend Arjuna, you don't care for this war. Sit down and meditate upon Me." Have you seen in this Bhagavad-gītā?

This meditation means to stop all nonsense work, sit down tightly? But those who are advanced in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, they have to work for Kṛṣṇa. Just like child, simply disturbing. The mother says: "My dear child, sit down here." But if he can work nicely, "Oh, yes," mother asks: "My dear boy, you have to do this, you have to do that, you have to do that." So sit down tightly for the nonsense, not for the sensible. For the nonsense, the more he sits down, at least he does not commit any nonsense, that's all. Negation of nonsense. That is not positive. Here is positive activities.

So negation is no life. Positive life is life. "Don't do this" is no life. "Do this," this is life. But in order to do rightly, there are some things "don't." "Don't" is not life, "do" is life. The whole Bhagavad-gītā is "do." "Do fight for Me." There is nothing "don't." Arjuna wanted, "Don't induce me." And Kṛṣṇa did not like that. "You are speaking like non-Āryan." Kutas te kaśmalam idam ([[Vanisource:BG 2.2 (1972)|BG 2.2]]).
