An expert devotee of the Lord can mould his life in such a way that while performing all kinds of duties either for this or the next life, he can constantly take and remember the Lord's Name, Fame, Qualities etc. without any stopage. The order of the Lord is distinctly there in the Bhagwat Geeta that one should work only for the Lord in all spheres of life. In every sphere of life the Lord shall be fixed up as the Proprietor. According to the Vedic rites even in the worshipping process of some demigods like Indra, Brahma, Sarswati, Ganesh, the system is that in all circumstances the representation of Vishnu must be there as the Yajneswar or the controlling power of such sacrifices. It is recommended that a particularly named demigod may be worshipped for serving a particular purpose but still the presence of Vishnu is compulsory in order to make the function properly done.
#$p#Apart from such Vedic duties even in our ordinary dealings also say for example in our household affairs, in our business or profession also we must consider that the result of all such activities must be given over to the Supreme Enjoyer Lord Krishna. In the Bhagwat Geeta the Lord has declared Himself as the Supreme Enjoyer of everything as the Supreme proprietor of every planet and the supreme friend of all beings. Except Lord Sri Krishna no one else can claim to be the proprietor of anything within His creation. A pure devotee remembers this constantly and in doing so he repeats the transcendental name, fame and qualities of the Lord which means He is constantly in touch with the Lord. The Lord is identical with His Name, Fame, etc and therefore to be associated with His Name Fame etc. constantly, means actually associating with the Lord.
#$p#The major portion of our monetary income, not less than 50 per cent must be spent for the purpose of carrying out the order of Lord Krishna. We should not only give over the profit of our earning to the cause as above mentioned, but also we must arrange for preaching this cult of devotion to others because that is also one of the orders of the Lord. On the other hand the Lord definitely says that nobody is more dear to Him than one who is always engaged in the preaching work of the Lord's Name, Fame all over the world. The scientific discoveries of the material world can also be equally engaged in the matter of carrying out His order. He wants that message of the Bhagwat Geeta shall be preached amongst His Devotees and it may not be so done amongst those who have no credit of austerities, charity, education etc. Therefore the attempt must go on to convert the unwilling men to become His devotees. Lord Chaitanya has tought us a very simple method in this connection. He has taught us the lesson for preaching transcendental message through singing, dancing and refreshment. As such 50 per cent of our income may be spent up for this purpose. In this fallen age of quarrel and dissension if only the leading and well to do persons of the society agree to spend 50 percent of their income in the service of the Lord as it is taught by Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, there is absolute certainty of converting this hell of pandemonium to the transcendental abode of the Lord. Nobody will disagree to partake in a function where good singing, dancing and refreshments are administered. Everyone will attend such function and in that auspicious spiritual function everyone is sure to feel individually about the transcendental presence of the Lord and this alone will help the attendants associating with the Lord and thereby purifying oneself in the matter of spiritual realisation. The only condition for successfully executing such spiritual activities, is that it must be conducted under the guidance of a pure devotee who is completely free from all sorts of mundane desires, fruitive activities and dry speculation about the nature of the Lord. Nobody has to discover the nature of the Lord. It is already spoken by the Lord Himself in the text of the Bhagwat Geeta specially and in all other Vedic literatures generally. We have simply to accept them in toto and abide by the orders of the Lord. That will guide us to the path of perfection. One can remain in his own position. Nobody has to change his position specially in this age of variegated difficulties but only one condition is that he must give up the habit of dry speculation in the matter of becoming one with the Lord. And after giving up such lofty puffed up vanities, one may very submissively receive by aural reception the orders of the Lord as it is said in the Bhagwat Geeta or Bhagwat from the lips of a bonafide devotee whose qualification is mentioned above. That will make everything successful without any doubt.
