Thought Of The Day

You are executing your occupational duty very nicely. Suppose if you are, from material point of view, you are big businessman or big medical practitioner, big engineer, or anything. Everyone has got some occupational duty. So if you are doing your duties very nicely, dharmah svanusthitah, very nicely you are doing, pumsam, but you have no Krsna consciousness... Your, you are functioning your duties, occupational duties, very nicely, but you do not develop Krsna consciousness. Dharmah svanusthitah pumsam visvaksena-kathasu yah [SB 1.2.8]. Visvaksena. Krsna's another name is Visvaksena. So if we do not become interested in hearing about Krsna... Krsna, Rama, or there are so many names of Krsna-Govinda, Narayana. He has got many forms. So Krsna means including all these forms. So visvaksena-kathasu yah, notpadayed ratim yadi: "If you do not get interested to hear about the Supreme Lord, then," srama eva hi kevalam, "your discharging very faithfully your occupational duty is simply labor of love. It has no meaning."
