Constantly Remember the Lord at all times - Swami

[Guest guest]

" God does not wish that you should not attend to

your personal and domestic chores. You may attend to all your needs,

but constantly remember God while doing so. That is the essence of Lord

Krishna's message in the Gita, "Maamanusmara Yuddhyacha (keep Me ever

in your mind and fight till the end)." In other words, He advised

Arjuna that he must engage himself in the war, constantly remembering

Him. War in this context does not imply merely killing one another by

shooting arrows or with missiles. That is not a sign of greatness.

There you discharge your duty in the battlefield. If you do so, those

who are destined to die will die.

 

Always attend to your duties with a pleasant and

smiling face. What is required is a smiling face. There is no use

putting on a "castor oil face". "Happiness is union with God." That is

real Divinity.
