Practice Being Bored To Find Your Japa Breakthrough | Japa Jolt | HG Vaisesika Dasa | 04 Mar 2026

Описание: Question: What are some practical things to do to our environment to optimize for absorption in the holy name?

First of all, make your bed in the morning. Make sure it's completely neat and clean, and then get everything out of your way; that's a distraction to you. Get rid of stuff you don't need. Don't pile up a bunch of junk in your room. If you collected teddy bears when you were a kid, start giving them away and get down to simplicity in your environment. Don't over-collect anything.

And then, get rid of your phone. Lock it up, put it in another room, or turn it off. That's drastic—turn it all the way off! And your mind’s going, "Wait a minute, where’s that little glow that I’m so used to putting in front of my face?" It’s a bane on society nowadays; it’s actually a travesty that this thing has been invented. Steve Jobs didn't let his kids have iPods or iPhones—do you know that? Because he knew the harmful nature of it.

So, shut down your phone, lock it up, put it in another county, and then start chanting. Make an inventory of those things that distract you and then put them somewhere else, out of reach. Baby-proof your room. Your mind’s like a little baby: "I want this, I want that." So, you know ahead of time: put it out of reach so that you have every advantage.

Practice being bored. The mind is going, "I’m bored," and so you say, "Good. That’s good. Be bored." Better that than to be scrolling. And if you practice being bored, sooner or later, you are going to break through. Try for breakthrough.

Don’t be like everybody else, just getting carried along. Even so-called "smart" people in the world—they don't have this practice. So we’re really lucky, and we should take full advantage of it and try to get into absorption. And if you do, Kṛṣṇa will help you. The mercy is there. It’s not impossible; it’s very, very possible. It’s just that we have to practice a lot. We have to practice daily, and we’ve got to want it and make it a discipline. Then the mind will conform, and Kṛṣṇa will.. (21:55)
