Guest guest Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Devotee: Sometimes we are so enthusiastic in service that while chanting we are also thinking of service.Radhanath Swami: It is better to think of service than of sense gratification, no doubt. But when you do service, you should be thinking of service. When you do chanting, you should be thinking of chanting. You should understand that our service during the chanting of the holy name is to completely engross our mind in the sound of the holy name. That is our service at that time. During the chanting of japa and the chanting of kirtana, it is not our service to be thinking of other things. By thinking of service while you are chanting, you are actually not doing your service properly. Your service at that time is simply to be immersed in hari-nama. If your mind goes away, thinking, " I'll do this, I'll do that, " bring it back to the holy name. Don't let it wander. You have the rest of the day to think of service, but at this time bring it back to the holy name. -- LET US NOT MAKE OUR STOMACH A GRAVEYARD. LET US NOT EAT FLESH. LET US BE VEGETARIANS AND STAY HEALTHY. Animals are to be loved, not eaten. Eating flesh is good neither for the mind nor for the intellect, not even for the body. It distorts the basic character of human. Think Soul is Soul and it came from the Supreme Soul...God Head Krishna Chant:Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare HareHare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
