Hare Rama, Hare Krishna

[RadhaMukunda 0]

hare rama, hare rama, rama rama, hare hare

hare krishna, hare krishna, krishna krishna, hare hare

Eat a little, drink a little;

talk a little, sleep a little.

Mix a little, move a little;

serve a little, give a little;

Work a little, rest a little;

study a little, worship a little.

Do asana a little, pranayama a little;

reflect a little, meditate a little,

Do japa a little, do kirtan a little,

write mantra a little, have satsanga a little.

Do all these, little, little. You will have time for all.

one little proviso --you may drop dead at any moment, sometimes, even with pleasent people to keep you company.

 

Any way, no reason to be grim about life --just make sure you are preforming your dutie(s) while providence heads down the highway without the headslight on, on the wrong side of the road medium.

 

Constantly remembering Krishna via:

 

The preventative measure fo constantly Chanting God's names, hare rama, hare rama, rama rama, hare hare

hare krishna, hare krishna, krishna krishna, hare hare

 

May cause you to remember Krishna reflexably when, with very short-notice, the soul becomes seperated from the body.

 

There is plenty of time in each epoch to repeat the same pursuits until one century now or later a soul gets it right.

I like that advice a lot. The whole notion of having too chant for so much per day or you are gonna burn in karmic hell approach is uninspiring to me personally but whatever works I guess.

I like that 'little' wisdom too RadhaMukunda. A day lived each day that way is something to be enthusiastic about, on rising and taking rest. A good life. Sounds like a good cultivation. Thx.

For one moment I thought you were telling me to drop dead.

I like this little poem, because it gives an example how to attain relief from everyday stress. Sometimes when I work on a project, it feels like I am working on it 24/7 for entire weeks. That makes it hard to be present in the moment.
