As soon as you chant Hare Krsna, immediately you remember Krsna, Krsna’s form, Krsna’s fighting, Krsna is sitting on the chariot of Arjuna. If you read Krsna book always, some of His pastimes will immediately come, appear in my brain, immediately, as soon as you chant Hare Krsna. That is required. Smaranam, automatically. As soon as you chant Hare Krsna… If you mechanically chant, thinking of something nonsense, then it will be useless. It will take time. But if there is immediate remembrance of Krsna… We are hearing about Krsna, so many things; reading about Krsna. Why not remembrance? That means inattention. That means deficient in Krsna consciousness. We should immediately, as soon as we chant Hare Krsna, immediately, at least we should remember the picture that Krsna is so kind that He has become a chariot driver of His devotee, Arjuna, and He is giving His instruction, Bhagavad-gita. Or Krsna is playing in the forest along with His cowherd boys, friends, eating very nicely on the bank of the Yamuna, and some demon came, and He is killing, and the boys are, I mean to say, encouraging Him with claps. This enjoyment is going on. What is the difficulty in remembering Krsna? What for this Krsna book is there? You read it and remember it. That will make you…, keep you in Krsna consciousness. You don’t have to discuss any very high philosophical topics. Krsna has become kindly very easily available simply by remembering His pastimes. Smaranam. Discuss. Discuss about Krsna.
