Transcript

00:00Suppose you keep a small picture of your favorite deity in your pocket in general.

00:06You'll find that when you are going to enter some kind of mischief,

00:11you'll keep that picture aside.

00:13You'll say you keep it here.

00:14Because right now I know I'm going to do something quite mean.

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

00:20So I'm keeping this here.

00:21And then I'll proceed and do all that.

00:23No.

00:24The approach has to be opposite.

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

00:30do whatever you feel like.

00:32But 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.

00:46That's when you need support.

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