Controlling The Mind
You can try to be the master of your senses but only Krishna can master your mind. In this world, devotees alone are controlling their minds because they engage them always in the service of Krishna.
Reason For A Devotee’s Moroseness
If a devotee is morose, that means he is meditating on sense gratification and not fully engaged in enthusiastically serving Sri Krishna.
Enthusiasm and Joy
All devotional expressions – be they japa, harinama sankirtana, preaching, studying, serving guru, cooking for Sri Krishna, or any seva should be done with enthusiasm. Enthusiasm and Joy is the key to bhava and prema.
Holy Name Likes to Be Distributed
Sri Nama Prabhu, the Holy name, likes to be distributed. Especially in kali yuga, Sri Nama Prabhu wants to go to every village and every person. Every devotee should be a distribution outlet for the holy name, channels of distribution for japa, kirtana and preaching.
