In this brief devotional discourse, Srila Gopal Krishna Goswami emphasizes the importance of aligning one’s meditation with a high spiritual standard. He explains that the mind naturally moves toward whatever object it contemplates; therefore, meditating on the greatness of eminent devotees and the lofty ideals of Krishna consciousness will elevate the practitioner, while focusing on mundane or lowly subjects leads to spiritual weakness. The speaker urges listeners to consciously choose meditative objects that support the ultimate goal of life—realizing Krishna consciousness.

You may say, "Well, that sounds fine, but I'm not so advanced, so what's the use of my hearing this?" We know you're not rāntī-deva. But the point is that at least when you know the standard that you should achieve, you can meditate on that standard and come up to that standard. And whatever activity your mind meditates, that is where you will be drawn towards. If you are going to meditate on the greatness, on the great devotees, then you will also become great. And if you meditate on mundane subject matter, unless then he will also become weak. If the mind should meditate on those activities which will help achieve the goal of life.
