ATTACHMENT

ATTACHMENT

... Therefore we have to practice remembering the Lord always, twenty-four hours a day...

How is this possible? The acharyas give the following example. If a married woman is attached to another man, or if a man has an attachment for a woman other than his wife, then the attachment is to be considered very strong. One with such an attachment is always thinking of the loved one. The wife who is thinking of her lover is always thinking of meeting him, even while she is carrying out her household chores. In fact, she carries out her household work even more carefully so her husband will not suspect her attachment. Similarly, we should always remember the supreme lover, Shree Krishna, and at the same time perform our material duties very nicely. A strong sense of love is required here. If we have a strong sense of love for the Supreme Lord, then we can discharge our duty and at the same time remember Him. But we have to develop that sense of love.

Gosh !!!

As for Myself, being A Very Faithful Monogamous Guy Under Continuous 24X7 Surveillance, I do not intend to pursue the very risky path outlined by the above-cited Acharyas to emulate the 'Supreme Lord'!
