Krishna goes on to tell Arjuna that, as a ksatriya, he can not give up fighting, but that if he fights remembering Krishna, then he will be able to remember Krishna at the time of death. So one who is always thinking of the Supreme Lord, Krishna, is the greatest yogi, the supermost jnani and the greatest devotee at the same time. “Of all yogis, he who abides in Me with great faith, worshipping Me in transcendental loving service, is most intimatily united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all.” ( Bhagavad Gita 6.47) However, Krishna replies to Arjuna, encouraging him: For the mind is restless and unsteady.” ( Bhagavad Gita 6.33) The best yogi “Arjuna said, O Madhusudana, the system of yoga which you have summarized appears impracticle and unendurable to me.
When Lord Krishna explained the meditational yoga system to Arjuna he says that the practice of this system is not possible for him. Krishna did not advise Arjuna to go to the forest and meditate. But we have to develop that sense of love for Krishna.Īrjuna, for instance, was always thinking of Krishna he was the constant companion of Krishna, and at the same time he was a warrior. If we have a strong sense of love for the Supreme Lord then we can discharge our duty and at the same time remember Him. In the same way as the married woman who is attached to another man is remembering her lover constantly but she is still carrying out her duties in her husband’s house, we should constantly remember the supreme lover, Sri Krishna, and at the same time perform our material duties very nicely.Ī strong sense of love is required here. In fact she carries out her household work even more carefully so her husband will not suspect her attachment. The wife who is thinking of her lover is always thinking of meeting him, even while she is carrying out her household chores. One with such an attachment is always thinking of the loved one. If a married woman is attached to another man, or if a man has an attachment for a women other than his wife, then the attachment is to be considered very strong. How is this possible? The acharyas give the following example. Therefore we have to practice remembering Krishna always, twenty-four hours a day, by chanting His names and moulding our life’s activities in such a way that we can remember Him always. There is no difference, because Krishna and Krishna’s name are nondifferent. So Lord Krishna’s instruction to Arjuna to “remember Me” and Lord Caitanya’s injunction to always “chant the names of Lord Krishna” are the same instruction. The names of the Lord and the Lord are nondifferent. He says that one should practice remembering the Lord by chanting the names of the Lord always. If he doesn’t practice remembering Krishna when he is struggling for existence, then it will not be possible for him to remember Krishna at the time of death. Krishna, therefore tells Arjuna that he need not give up his occupation, but while he is engaged in his occupation, he should remember Krishna. Krishna advises Arjuna not to give up his occupation In human society, whether one is a laborer, merchant, warrior, administrator or farmer, or even if one belongs to the highest class and is a literary man, a scientist or a theologian, he has to work in order to maintain his existence. The brahmana class, or intelligent class, is working in one way, the ksatriya class or administrative class is working in another way and the mercantile class and laborers are all tending to their specific duties.
Human society is divided into four divisions of social order: brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya and sudra. In this material world, in order to maintain the body, one has to work. Krishna never suggests anything impractical. So Krishna is not advising Arjuna to simply remember Him and give up his occupation.
