DIRECT YOUR THOUGHTS

TO THE DIVINE
Kṛṣṇa, or any Enlightened Master or Incarnation, only asks us to keep our inner space completely free of desires.
Our thoughts are generally related to greed and fear. We keep piling up desires because our root thought patterns are of greed and fear. When we die, our soul re-experiences these desires. Attachment to these desires makes our death painful. An Enlightened Master has seen this process and speaks from experience.
He is pure compassion and He wants everyone to know the secret of mastering the art of leaving.
That is why Kṛṣṇa says again and again: When we direct our thoughts to the Divine, greed and fear are 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.
