Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

This Hare Kṛṣṇa chanting, this is also always thinking of Kṛṣṇa. As soon as I hear the word "Kṛṣṇa," immediately I remember Kṛṣṇa. By reading books, immediately I remember Kṛṣṇa. So many ways, the process is to remember Kṛṣṇa. Even without chanting, without going to the temple, if you can remember only Kṛṣṇa, that will do. But these things will help you to remember Kṛṣṇa.

In our temple we have got Kṛṣṇa, the form of Kṛṣṇa, and you just be engaged in His devotional service. Therefore you will not forget Kṛṣṇa, the form of Kṛṣṇa. So the process is to always think of Kṛṣṇa. This Hare Kṛṣṇa chanting, this is also always thinking of Kṛṣṇa. As soon as I hear the word "Kṛṣṇa," immediately I remember Kṛṣṇa. By reading books, immediately I remember Kṛṣṇa. So many ways, the process is to remember Kṛṣṇa. Even without chanting, without going to the temple, if you can remember only Kṛṣṇa, that will do. But these things will help you to remember Kṛṣṇa. Man-manā, always thinking of Kṛṣṇa; man-manā bhava mad-bhakta. Bhakta means servant, devotee. Whatever Kṛṣṇa desires, do it. It is not very difficult.

So man-manā bhava, mad-yājī, worship Kṛṣṇa and offer respect to Kṛṣṇa. Four things. Anyone can do. It doesn't require any high education, high philosophical mind. Simply four things: always think of Kṛṣṇa, become a devotee of Kṛṣṇa, offer Him respect, obeisances, and worship Him. These four things will help you. If you cannot do these four things even, then you can chant: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Very simple process, and there is no loss. Suppose you become a devotee and think of Kṛṣṇa, what is loss on your part? There is no loss.
