Imported quote 18605 [break] Sthane sthitaḥ sruti-gatam tanu-vah-manobhir [SB 10.14.3]. Simply by hearing. You remain in your place; there is no need of changing your place. If you are businessman, do your business. If you are a medical man, remain in your medical profession-or lawyer, or whatever it may be. That is the recommendation of Brahma and confirmed by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Sthane sthitaḥ sruti-gatam tanu-vah-manobhir. If we hear, sruti-gatam, if we receive the message of bhakti, then you can remain in your place. But if you hear and try to implement it, employ it in practical life, then one day the Supreme Lord, whose another name is Ajita, you'll be able to conquer Him. Jito 'py asi. These are the recommendation in the sastra. So this is first-class or superior dharma. Everyone can accept it. Simply hear. And that hearing process is also made very easy. This chanting, Hare Krsna maha-mantra, you chant and hear. Anywhere you can do it. You sit down in your home or in your office, in your factory, underneath a tree or anywhere, you can chant Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. And you can hear. This process will make you advanced in everything. Caitanya Mahaprabhu has given His benediction, iha haite sarva siddhi hibe tomara . By..., simply by this chanting and hearing of Hare Krsna mantra, all perfection you'll get. It's very easy.
(More...) There is no other method for our spiritual progress. Simply chant Hare Krsna mantra. And there is no loss on our part. If we chant Hare Krsna mantra, there is no loss. You can chant, Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, niyamitaḥ smarane na kalaḥ: "There is no hard-and-fast rule for chanting this Hare Krsna mantra." Everyone can attempt. Even the children, they are also chanting. There is no loss, but gain is very much. That is the greatest gain, ceto-darpana-marjanam. Ceto-dar... That requires. Ceto-darpana-marjanam. Just like in the mirror, if it is covered with dust, you cannot see your face. But if you cleanse the mirror very nicely, then you can see your actual face. Similarly, when our this heart is cleansed... And within the heart, Krsna is there. Īsvaraḥ sarva-bhūtanam hrd-dese 'rjuna tisthati [Bg 18.61]. If we try to cleanse our heart, then-Krsna is already there-He will help immediately.
