My goal is to think of the Lord every moment. To achieve this goal I try to chant His name but am not able to do it continuously because it is involved in worldly activities. Kindly show me a practical way to keep thinking of the Lord while we are involved in worldly activities. Is this possible ?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

Your goal is wonderful and what you are doing is perfectly right. Where you are going wrong is your expectation to attain that state immediately. Your interest is good; at the same time, you have to understand and accept that this is possible only by regular practice. In spirituality, perseverance is paramount.

 

So keep continuing until the goal is reached.
