The problem with the device we keep in our pocket is, it just wants to get engaged in some random thing, and it calls you to do that. So if you, for instance, have a specific reason to go on, then do that. And if there are specific things you can mine out of that huge pile of randomness that say, "This is something I'm working on," for instance, maybe there are some things about how to be articulate. Pick all those things and put them in a separate file somewhere else. So then, when that habit, that urge, comes up, like, "I have to look at things," it's "Okay, only look at this," because you already decided this is what you're going to look at. This is what I'm cultivating something because there's a specific skill I'm trying to develop. Go here. Don't just go to the random site. When you get used to that, then your mind becomes more and more disciplined. If you don't have some parameter and it just goes at the whim of your mind, then your mind becomes more and more flabby. And then when you try to chant, it's just randomness. There's no sense of control of the mind, or what Krishna describes as vyavasāyātmikā-buddhi—the fixed intelligence. So that, that's my suggestion. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose
