mirror, cleaning it

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, niyamitah smarane na kalah: "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.
