Remebering Krishna, every moment!

Verse 1.15.51 (Mohan Prji):

* Last verse of this chapter.
* Summarizing the whole chapter
* We see the benediction that Suta Goswami is giving to us. Anybody who listens to these pastimes, will attain the love of Godhead.
* If we carefully look into our scriptures, they are in 3 categories
- sambandha (relationship)
- abhideya (process)
- prayojana (fruit)
* This chapter also, all the 3 aspects can be seen.
* BG chapter 8 is a close parallel, which states how one should attain the Supreme
* Ch 8: anta kale..., yam yam vapi...
- SP is telling that there is only one spiritual body for every jiva. So when we serve and remember Krishna at the time of death, then one will attain that particular spiritual body. Otherwise, we will be in the cycle of our many material bodies.
* How can I remember at the time of death? "If one is planning to remember Krishna at death, that will never happen!".
- Kulasekhar Alwar's statement
* Unless one practises remembering Krishna 24 hrs a day, it will not be possible to remember Krishna at the time of death.
- one small pain in the body, we forget to remember Krishna, then how will we remember Him at death when 40000 scorpions are biting us.
* HH Bhakti Tirtha Swami - Die before dying!
* So are we utilizing our body, mind and intelligence for Krishna 24 hrs a day. Otherwise, we are using it for material things only.
* It is important that we need to convey to Krishna that we are remembering Him now. Then at death, Krishna will help us remember Him.
