Even if you don't want Krsna, Krsna will enter within your mind

[Pankaja_Dasa 1]

 

Lecture, Seattle, October 18, 1968 (excerpt)

 

Visnujana: While we are chanting our rounds, or while we are chanting out loud in kirtana, is it all right to be engaging our mind in thinking?

 

Prabhupada: Is it not?

 

Visnujana: He is already (indistinct).

 

Prabhupada: This is practical way? (laughter) If you are not minding, the chanting will force you to mind upon Him. You see? Krsna sound will by force. Chanting is so nice. And this is the practical yoga in this age. You cannot meditate. Your mind is so disturbed, you cannot concentrate your mind. Therefore chant, and by the sound vibration, it will forcibly enter it into your mind. Even if you don't want Krsna, Krsna will enter within your mind. By force. (laughter) This is the easiest process.You don't require to endeavor. Krsna is coming. (laughter) (Prabhupada laughs) It is very nice process. This is recommended therefore, for this age. And others also will be benefited. You chant loudly.
