Laziness of The Mind
In Kali-yuga, the mind is so lazy that it wants to quit without even trying. If one is not immediately successful, the mind will say – "Oh. I cant do it. I quit!".
Avoiding Bad Association
The most essential point of avoiding bad association is to give up the bad association of one's materialistic mentality.
Cut Off The Wings of The Mind
The bird of the mind flies on two wings: the past and the future. Cut off the wings! Be here, now: hear, chant and remember – love, serve and surrender.
Chanting The Holy Name
Chanting the holy name without service attitude produces sound but no divinity – like a gun firing blanks, instead of bullets.
