Concentrate your mind upon Krishna

“…one should concentrate his mind upon Kṛṣṇa-the very form with two hands carrying a flute, the bluish boy with a beautiful face and peacock feathers in His hair. There are descriptions of Kṛṣṇa found in the Brahma-saṁhitā and other literatures. One should fix his mind on this original form of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa. He should not even divert his attention to other forms of the Lord. The Lord has multi-forms, as Viṣṇu, Nārāyaṇa, Rāma, Varāha, etc., but a devotee should concentrate his mind on the form that was present before Arjuna. Concentration of the mind on the form of Kṛṣṇa constitutes the most confidential part of knowledge, and this is disclosed to Arjuna because Arjuna is the most dear friend of Kṛṣṇa’s.”

Plain Living, High Thinking
By Srila Prabhupada

The following conversation between His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Kirtanananda Swami , and Kulashekara dasa took place in New Vrindaban in June of 1976.

[Srila Prabhupada holds up a flower.] See the minute fibers in this flower. Can anyone manufacture this in a factory — such small fibers? And how brilliant the color is! If you study only one flower, you become God conscious. There is a machine that you call “nature,” and from this machine everything is coming. But who has built this machine?
