Transcript

00:00Suppose, you keep a small picture of your favourite DT in your pocket, in general.

00:06You will find that when you are going to enter some kind of mischief, you will keep that picture aside.

00:12You will say, you keep it here. Because right now, I know I am going to do something quite mean.

00:17So, I cannot keep this picture and do that kind of thing. So, I am keeping this here.

00:21And then, I will proceed and do all that. No! The approach has to be opposite.

00:25If you find yourself incapable of stopping in the matter of mischief,

00:29do whatever you feel like, but take Krishna along with you.

00:34Do not keep the idols and the pictures only in some specified prayer room.

00:40Keep them where you are most likely to be your beastly self.

00:45That's where they should be. That's when you need support.

00:48That's when you need a Krishna to remind you of the truth.
