chant, become pure, benefit others

[Guest guest]

....every one of you should become pure devotee, first-class devotee. In this

age it has been made very easy. Simply keep yourself cleansed, not to

indulge in the four principles, prohibition, and chant Hare Krsna. Then you

will be all first-class devotees. And wherever you will go, you will be able

to purify there. Wherever you go. Wherever you speak, wherever you'll sit.

So keep this spiritual strength intact. Tirtha-bhutah. Tirthi-kurvanti

tirthani sva antah-sthena. The Hare Krsna mantra chanting means keeping

Krsna always within your heart.

 

If you simply carry Krsna within your heart always in a very devotional

service, exalted devotional service, and chant Hare Krsna, and think of

Krsna, wherever you will go, you will purify the whole place. Svantah-sthena

gadabhrta. It is fact. It is confirmed in the Srimad-Bhagavatam.

 

Try to remain in your position as devotee, and as far as possible teach

these rascals who are simply attracted by the glaring material stones and

woods, and let them have some knowledge and do benefit to your countrymen,

to your society, to your family.
