A-U-M

[Dvaipayana Dasa]

 To be Krishna conscious we should remember 3 basic things:

 

1. A (no Anxiety): We should stop our anxieties once for all. We should be completely anxiety-free leaving everything in the hands of Krishna.

2. U (no Uncleanliness) : We should be completely clean both inside (mind) and outside (body). As long as our mind is simple, it will be clean. But when we complicate things, then our mind becomes unclean. Simple and straight-forward thinking, Eating simple food-stuffs, Sleeping in simple manner without too much of foam etc, keeps our body and mind very clean and healthy.

3. M (not Much eating): Over-eating has to be avoided. We should not stuff food inside our body as if it is a garbage truck. We should eat only those food items that are easy to digest and healthy and that are offered to the Lord.

 

If we remember these three things AUM, then it is the sound representation of Krishna (OM). In this way we can always stay close to Krishna.
