Powerful Cognition

Always be n Krishna Consciousness even when you are doing your regular duty and activities. Let your mind and intelligence be fixed in Krishna Consciousness.

abhyāsa yoga yuktena cetasā divyaṃ yāti pārthānucintayan

He who meditates on the supreme person, his mind con-stantly engaged in remembering Me, not deviating from the path, O Pārtha, He is sure to reach Me.

Lead a life of higher consciousness by constantly engaging the mind in remembrance of Krishna, and one will certainly attain Krishna Consciousness

kaviṃ purāṇaṃ anuśāsitāramaṇoraṇī yām sam anusmared yaḥ sarvasya dhātāram acintya-rūpam ādityavarṇaṃ tamasaḥ parastāt

One should meditate on the Supreme as the one who knows everything, as He is the most ancient, who is the controller, who is smaller than the smallest, who is the maintainer of everything, who is beyond all material conception, who is inconceivable, and who is always a person.

If you experience even a single glimpse of this thoughtless awareness or pure consciousness when you are alive, the same thing automatically repeats when you leave the body. You leave the body in samādhi.

prayāṇakāle manasācalena bhaktyā yukto yogabalena caiva bhruvor madhye prāṇam āveśya samyak sa taṃ paraṃ puruṣam upaiti divyam

One, who at the time of death, fixes his mind and life air between the eyebrows without being distracted, by the power of yoga and in full devotion, engages himself in dwelling on Me, He will certainly attain Me.

If you achieve one glimpse of thoughtless awareness, you achieve whatever has to be achieved in life.
