Real association - by sound

There are two conceptions: the physical conception and the vibration
conception. So physical conception is temporary. The vibration
conception is eternal. Just like we are relishing the vibration of
Krishna’s teachings. So by vibration He is present.

As soon as we chant Hare Krishna or chant Bhagavad-gita or Srimad
Bhagavatam, He is present immediately by His vibration. He’s absolute.
Therefore try to remember His words of instruction and you’ll not feel
separation. You’ll feel that Krishna is with you. So we should
associate by the vibration, and not by the physical presence. That is
real association...by sound. So we should give more stress on the
sound vibration, either of Krishna or of the spiritual master. Then
we’ll feel happy and no separation.

When Krishna departed from this world, at that time Arjuna was
overwhelmed with sorrow and he began to remember the instruction of
Bhagavad-gita. You’ll find this in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. ... He
immediately began to remember the teachings that were taught to him in
the Battlefield of Kuruksetra. Then He was pacified. Arjuna was His
constant friend, so when Krishna went to His abode he was feeling
overwhelmed, but he began to remember His teaching. So whenever we
shall feel separation, the best thing is to remember the teachings.
Then it will be very nice.

So you can chant Hare Krishna.
