HOW CAN WE THINK OF KRSNA WHILE BEING DISTRACTED BY THE SENSES?

Visnujana: When we're engaged in spreading Krsna consciousness by this singing or selling Back to Godheads or speaking with people, if through our senses, like seeing or hearing or touching and smelling, our mind gets distracted even while we're engaged in selling Back to Godhead, then how can we always, how can we always return to that point of remembering even though our senses are being dragged by billboard signs and so many...
Prabhupada: No, suppose you are selling Back to Godhead. Does it not remind you (of) Krsna? Does it not remind you about Krsna? What for you are selling Back to Godhead? You could sell another popular magazine which could sell very nicely, quickly, thousands of copies. Why you have taken this Back to Godhead? For Krsna. You are not for business, you are not ordinary, I mean to say, newspaper seller. Why you have taken Back to Godhead? Your motive is that people may know about Krsna. That is your motive. If magazine selling is your business, you can take any other sense gratificatory magazine. There are so many. And you can sell, you can make some profit. So we have to mold our life in such a way that we shall always remember Krsna. Therefore remembering Krsna is my primary business. And we have to act in such a way that we may not forget Krsna. That should be the principle. That is the secret. Therefore it is equally good for anyone because we can engage anyone in the business of Krsna. If somebody has no, I mean to say, knowledge, he can simply sweep over the floor of Krsna's temple. That will make him remembering Krsna, that "I am cleansing the floor of Krsna's temple." He's as good as the editor of Back to Godhead.
