Quintessence


CC Madhya 21.110, Translation
: "The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa,
is full in all six opulences, including His attractive beauty, which engages Him in
conjugal love with the gopīs. Such sweetness is the quintessence of His qualities."


Always chanting My glories, endeavoring with great determination, bowing
down before Me, these great souls perpetually worship Me with devotion.

"There are many regulative principles in the sastras and directions given by the spiritual master. These regulative principles should act as servants of the basic principle -- that is, one should always remember Krishna and never forget Him." (Srila Prabhupada, purport, Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Madhya 22.113)

Lord Krishna makes many statements in Bhagavad-gita to help us remember Him:

Always think of Me and become My devotee. Worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend. (Bg 18.65)

Engage your mind always in thinking of Me, offer obeisances and worship Me. Being completely absorbed in Me, surely you will come to Me. (Bg 9.34)

Just fix your mind upon Me, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and engage all your intelligence in Me. Thus you will live in Me always, without a doubt. (Bg 12.8 )

In all activities just depend upon Me and work always under My protection. In such devotional service, be fully conscious of Me. (Bg 18.57)

Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear. (Bg 18.66)

Now hear, O son of Prtha [Arjuna], how by practicing yoga in full consciousness of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full, free from doubt. (7.1)

One should hold one's body, neck and head erect in a straight line and stare steadily at the tip of the nose. Thus, with an unagitated, subdued mind, devoid of fear, completely free from sex life, one should meditate upon Me within the heart and make Me the ultimate goal of life. (Bg 6.13-14)

Always chanting My glories, endeavoring with great determination, bowing down before Me, these great souls perpetually worship Me with devotion. (Bg 9.14)

Engage your mind always in thinking of Me, offer obeisances and worship Me. Being completely absorbed in Me, surely you will come to Me. (Bg 9.34)

And whoever, at the time of death, quits his body, remembering Me alone, at once attains My nature. Of this there is no doubt. (Bg 8.5)

For one who worships Me, giving up all his activities unto Me and being devoted to Me without deviation, engaged in devotional service and always meditating upon Me, who has fixed his mind upon Me, O son of Prtha, for him I am the swift deliverer from the ocean of birth and death. (Bg 12.6-7)

And whoever, at the time of death, quits his body, remembering Me alone, at once attains My nature. Of this there is no doubt. (Bg 8.7)

I envy no one, nor am I partial to anyone. I am equal to all. But whoever renders service unto Me in devotion is a friend, is in Me, and I am also a friend to him. (Bg 9.29)

After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare. Bg 7.19)

A true yogi observes Me in all beings, and also sees every being in Me. Indeed, the self-realized man sees Me everywhere. (Bg 6.29)

For one who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, I am never lost, nor is he ever lost to Me. (Bg 6.30)

My dear Arjuna, only by undivided devotional service can I be understood as I am, standing before you, and can thus be seen directly. Only in this way can you enter into the mysteries of My understanding. (Bg 11.54)

Chanting is the most important daily devotional activity that helps us to train our minds to “Always remember Krishna and never forget Him."
