Thinking of Krsna.

[Guest guest]

There is a clear difference between a devotee and a

non-devotee - one is engaged in Krsna's service and

the other in maya's. Prabhupada said we should reach

the point of thinking about Krsna twenty-four hours a

day and this is full Krsna consciousness. So this is a

simple test of how Krsna conscious someone is - how

much of each twenty-four hours they think of Krsna. We

are told that the great devotees of Krsna could chant

for something like twenty-three hours a day and were

continually absorbed in trance. So although the Krsna

consciousness process is natural a great deal of

effort is required to achieve the ultimate goal.
