Attaining pure consciousness!

Verse 1.15.47-48 (Bala Govind Prji):

* We can understand from this shloka that we can go back to Godhead in the self-same body. It is possible.
* As Krishna went back, similarly, we too can go back. And what is the requirement: pure consciousness, that is Krishna consciousness.
* Constant and devotional rememberance of the Lord are the two other required things.
* We should lovingly remember Krishna, not like Kamsa's rememberance. That will help us go back to Godhead.
* SP: We should have pure consciousness, should not be tainted by the 3 modes of material nature. We should be cleansed completely.
* BG 14.26 : One who engages in full devotional service, unfailing in all circumstances, at once transcends the modes of material nature and thus comes to the level of Brahman.
* If we continue this, then what to speak of brahman realization, we will surely come to Bhagavan realization also.
* Without deviation we should meditate on the SPG. Eg: the Pandavas, although subjected to so many distresses, were always in service and thinking of Krishna. Cause they were so much surrendered to Him.
* One who has accepted the boat of lotus feet of Krishna, for them this ocean of material existence becomes the same as the size of a calf's footprint.
* Other examples are there: Prahalad Maharaj, Dhruva Maharaj.
* Other contemporary examples: HH Jayapataka Swami Maharaj, under so many problems of health, but still he is continuing so very very nicely. Pure devotees, pain is there, but they don't feel it.
* Another example: HG Stoka Krishna Pr, so much pain in the death bed, but still unflinching faith in the process.
* Primary exmaple: Srila Prabhupada's life. So many difficulties was there, but still he continued, chose service to Krishna as his highest priority.
* What is material consciousness: I am this body, whatever is connected to this body is mine. And where it is all starting, the attraction between male and female. Unless we cut this knot, it is definitely not possible to come out of the material consciousness.
* And how to cut this knot, devotional service is the only means.
* This material consciousness is like a fog, is covering everything. It can be only dissipated by DS, like a sun which dissipates the fog. And for this we need able guidance of a bona fide spiritual master.
* Any person who seriously seeks this pure consciousness, should seriously seek a bona fide spiritual master, seek initiation, serve and hence ultimately be purified to achieve pure consciousness.
