Master your senses through Krishna consciousness, and your mind will naturally fix on the Supreme Self.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Bhagavad-gītā 6.25–29 [Sāṅkhya Yoga System] — February 18, 1969, Los Angeles 690218BG-LOS ANGELES [44:57 Minutes] Bg-06.25–29_690218BG-LOS ANGELES Prabhupāda: Page hundred and fifty-six. Viṣṇujana: "Gradually, step by step, with full conviction, one should become situated in trance by means of intelligence, and thus the mind should be fixed on the Self alone and should think of nothing else." [Bg. 6.25] Prabhupāda: Yes. The self. The mind should be fixed in self. We are self, and Kṛṣṇa is also Self.
So just like if you fix up your eyes on the sun, then you can see the sun and yourself also. Sometimes in dense darkness we cannot see ourself also. That you have experienced. So I cannot see my body in dense darkness.
Although body is with me—I am the body or I am whatever I am—I cannot see myself. That you have got experience. So if you are in the sunshine, sunlight, then you see the sun as well as yourself. Is it not?
Therefore to see the self means first of all see the Supreme Self. The Supreme Self is Kṛṣṇa. In the Vedas it is said, Kaṭha Upaniṣad, nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām [Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13]. [The Supreme Lord is eternal and the living beings are eternal. The Supreme Lord is cognizant and the living beings are cognizant. The difference is that the Supreme Lord is supplying all the necessities of life for the many other living entities.] The Supreme Self is the chief eternal of all eternals.
He is the chief living being of all living beings. So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement means to fix up in self. To... The same example: if you fix up your mind in Kṛṣṇa, then you can fix up your mind in everything.
The same example again: if you take care of your stomach, then you take care of all the bodily limbs. If your stomach is supplied nice, nutritious food, the stomach is cleared of all disturbances, then you keep good health. So if you pour water in the root of the tree, then you take care of all the branches, leaves, flowers, twigs, everything, automatically. So if you take care of Kṛṣṇa, then you do the best service to all others. Automatically.
These boys, they are going with kīrtana party. Because they are Kṛṣṇa conscious, it is not that they are sitting idly in this temple. They are going outside, preaching this philosophy so that others may take advantage of it. So a Kṛṣṇa conscious person cannot sit idly. He thinks that "Such a nice philosophy of life, why it should not be distributed?" That is his mission.
