    The Purifying Force

    O King, by the passing of time, land and other material possessions are purified; by bathing, the body is purified; and by being cleansed, unclean things are purified. By purificatory ceremonies, birth is purified; by austerity, the senses are purified; and by worship and charity offered to the brahmanas, material possessions are purified. By satisfaction, the mind is purified; and by self-realization, or Krishna consciousness, the soul is purified.

    We should always keep the saffron colour in our heart. Krishna likes saffron colour. If we do not wear saffron before death, Krishna will wrap us in saffron colour. This happens because when the body is cremated the flames of the fire are saffron in colour and this way Krishna wraps us in saffron.

    Purifying Our Minds Through Krishna Consciousness

    Srila Prabhupada explained in his purport that one has to give up all kinds of sense desire manufactured by mental concoction. Artificially, such sense desires cannot be stopped. But if one is engaged in Krishna consciousness, then, automatically, sense desires subside without extraneous efforts. Therefore, one has to engage himself in Krishna consciousness without hesitation.

    Flow of desires will be there but the objective must be changed. At the moment our desires are wild, running after sense gratification. This we have to avoid. Objective will be satisfaction of Krishna. According to Bhagavad Gita, our life has to be moulded so that Krishna will be satisfied.

    We may not be able to do all the exercises, but walking is the best exercise. If it is possible don’t take too much medicine. There is no mention of medicine in Srimad Bhagavatam.

This human body can be compared to a perfectly constructed boat having the spiritual master as the captain and the instructions of the Personality of Godhead as favorable winds impelling it on its course.

    There is famous proverb - "United we stand - divided we fall."  When can we be united ? Only when we see each other as part and  parcel of Krishna. But many a times we fail to think in this way. We expect people around us to act in the way we want and when they don't meet our expectations, we start hating them and develop a feeling of aversion towards them.
