You get up in the morning and busy yourself with various demands that life has placed in your path.  Before you know it, the day has come to an end when a disturbing thought hits you: "I didn't think about God at all today."  You ask yourself, "What can I do to remind myself of God?"  For anyone who has ever asked, here are my suggestions.

 

Train your mind to think about God throughout the day by visualizing a personal aspect of God - for example, Lord Krishna - as being with you in your work place or at home.  Next, form the habit of looking at Him for a split second after every hour.  The purpose is to train the mind to think of God many times a day for just a moment.  When you visualize Him, imagine Him laughing or talking or smiling.  After another hour passes, look at Him again.  Do this all day long.  It will take some time, and in the beginning you will certainly forget.  However, steady practice will yield wonderful results.

 

Besides doing this, schedule some time for just you and your Creator.  It takes some time to nurture a relationship, and a relationship with God is no different.  Rather than just saying 'goodbye' to God when you leave the house and 'hello' upon your return, spend some time with Him.  Early morning is the best, since you are not busy with anything else at that time.  In the early morning hours, there are pure vibrations in the atmosphere which will be extremely helpful in reminding you of God.

 

Then go ahead and face the day with a smile on your face and joy in your heart.

Yours,
