Category:Our Thinking of Krsna (Disciples of SP)
Theme Analysis
The instructions compiled in this category reveal the practical science of continuous spiritual absorption. Śrīla Prabhupāda taught that thinking of the Supreme Lord is not a passive, silent meditation, but an active, twenty-four-hour engagement. Because the material mind is naturally restless, he guided his disciples to fix their consciousness on Kṛṣṇa through practical devotional service—such as chanting, cooking, reading, and working. By training the mind to remain absorbed in transcendence at every moment, a devotee easily conquers material desires, remains peaceful amidst bodily discomforts, and guarantees their successful return back to Godhead at the time of death.
- The Perfection of First-Class Yoga: Real yoga is not merely sitting quietly, but keeping the mind completely absorbed in the thought of the Supreme Lord twenty-four hours a day through active, practical service.
- Transforming Daily Activities: Every aspect of life—eating, working, raising children, or doing business—can be spiritualized when the ultimate goal and thought behind the action is pleasing the Supreme Lord.
- Overcoming Lower Impulses: When the mind is disturbed by anger or strong material desires, such as the sex urge, focusing the attention on the transcendental pastimes of the Lord immediately subdues these lower impulses.
- Spiritual Connection Through Separation: Thinking of the spiritual master and the Supreme Lord in a mood of separation is the perfect position of pure love, completely protecting the devotee from the influence of māyā.
- Preparation for the Final Test: The ultimate purpose of practicing constant remembrance during life is to successfully think of Kṛṣṇa at the crucial moment of death, thereby achieving liberation from the material world.
