When Shri Krishna says, โ€œThink of Me,โ€ Shri Krishna is obviously not to be objectified. Is Shri Krishna a handkerchief, a piece of wood, some idol in a temple? Some stone, a fabulous piece of architecture? What is Shri Krishna? How will you think of Shri Krishna? He is beyond thought.

Therefore, what does it mean to keep thinking of Shri Krishna? It means you can think of whatever you want to think, but think in a way that brings thought to completion; think in a way that brings the thinker to contentment. That is what is meant by always thinking of Shri Krishna.

You donโ€™t have to literally think of Shri Krishna, so many people make that mistake. In fact, there are entire movements dedicated to cultivating thoughts of Shri Krishna the person. They think of Shri Krishna as some kind of a human form, close their eyes and visualize. This is stupid! This is not at all what Shri Krishna meant. You cannot think of Shri Krishna; you have to think of the world. Whatever you think of will be the worldly thing, but think of it in a way that takes you to Contentment, Peace, Truth, Completion. These four words that we just mentioned, they refer to Krishna.

Therefore, being devoted to Krishna does not forbid thinking of this object or that object. In fact, spirituality or Adhyฤtma is not at all about narrowing down the scope of your thought.

The spiritual man would be a great thinker: he would have the entire sky available as the expanse to think. The space of his thought would be as unlimited as possible.

-Bhagwat Gita
