Krishna Consciousness

Kṛṣṇa says the people who reach Him are those who remain continuously on the path of yoga, continuously fixed upon the Divine without deviation. Kṛṣṇa asks us to be in that state all the time. He asks us to be in Kṛṣṇa consciousness all the time.

The problem is when an Enlightened Master says, 'Think of Me all the time, ' we question, an egoistic person is He? Why should we think of Him?' Actually, our ego plays the game.

We think Kṛṣṇa is exploiting us when He advises us to be in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

completely wiped out. Our whole

being is filled with gratitude to the Divine.

One more thing, many people think of God because they want to go to heaven. Some people are afraid of death so they think of God. Both are only because of greed or fear. When we think of the Divine, we should do so out of gratitude, and not out of greed or fear. Our thoughts about God, our devotion to the Divine should be out of pure gratitude to Existence.

Impress upon the students that we must engage in the study of scriptures, vedic chanting, devotional service and meditation to attain the state of thoughtless awareness. We must drop greed and fear and fill our inner space with gratitude. GOALS:
