Chapter 12 Text 2 Translation and purport by Divine Grace Translation the supreme personality of God had said, those who fix their minds on my personal form and are always engaged in worshipping me with great and transcendental faith are considered by me to be most perfect. In answer to Arjuna's question, Krishna clearly says that he who concentrates upon his personal form and who worships him with faith and devotion is to be considered most perfect in yoga. For one, in such Ka consciousness there are no material activities because everything is done for Ka. A pure devotee is constantly engaged. Sometimes he chants, sometimes he hears or reads books about Krishna. Or sometimes he cooks prasadam or goes to the marketplace to purchase something for Krishna. Or sometimes he washes the temple or the dishes. Whatever he does, he does not let a single moment pass without devoting his activities to Krishna. Such action is in full samadhi.
So I think the devotees who have done they were successful. Somehow we decided we would give the class you were all doing on Saturdays wedding. So I thought okay, whether there's Internet or not. Question 5. No sooner he said no. So this is an important verse. Our journal is confused. Sometimes Krishna talked about the intentional truth, sometimes he talked about the personal truth. Which one was better? Which one was Because Arjuna was a fixed in personal truth, he was a devotee. So was he rightly situated or should he be worshipping the impersonal Iran Seeing many people, they think that the impersonal group is a literate. And somehow as I mentioned, sometimes before some lady came and sat next to me in Mumbai airport. She said she was alive and and she was elderly, she was widowed, associate widow. And she had questions why do you worship deities? After all, God is informants. This was her question. So here Krishna says those who worship me in my personal form, I consider them most perfect. So this is a very important verse. This is what we can show the people. So Krishna, he says those who worship my personal form.
Slow slope middle.
They'Re very at most perfect. So this is something I should take seriously. In the Purifier Prabhupada mentions that we should engage the devotees at 24 hours a day engaged in different services. Attending here is watching over Internet. The Alexis somehow they're busy in Christian service. Even if you go to the market, they're marketing, they look like any other Marketer shopping in the market. But they're shopping for their deity for Ka. So having a deity in the house, how did you.
Raise your hands?
Oh yeah. So when you. When you marketing, you are not marketing just for yourself, you're marketing for the Devi. That's what everything you do is for the Devi. So in this way the working is engaged 24 hours a day in different Ka seva. So this is. This makes very easy to be Krishna conscious while leading or thirsty ordinary life. But actually it's a spiritual oriented life. So I would like all of you to take this example. Sometimes the devotee thinks how will I lead a Christian conscious life? I am not qualified. But you can do the same thing you are doing now by yourself for your deity. Having a deity in your house, having something. Maybe you can't worship the porn. You can have a chitta. How you go to the picture of Krishna. It's called Chittra thought or deity in the form of a photo or dictionary. So whether you have a picture or you have a warrant thing, the idea is you can worship and you can do yourself. Also now that we have the modern computer where you can watch the videos and you can download the videos from our website. My website is jpsbody.com you can download all my lectures and tapes cleaned up and put up online. Also to other gurus. You have the ISKCON desire tree in whom life and they have children and they get love into that site. So no using in dinner. You can also see the deed of AYATOLLAH different places, L.A. i think also Raya, Sukharian, Jew and Shelta de. You can see the deities as they offer their daily program. When I in my zone then my class is also broadcasted on Internet. So in this way somehow or another we can be always listening to Krishna to guru to the western. We can engage in devotional service. So it's a very wonderful opportunity. Of course if you want you can waste our time on Internet. We can see the central sites and we sit there shout to singing our devotional site. That will be much better and that will be more useful. So I hope you follow this verse and give yourself in Christian service to me.
