Street Samadhi
Samadhi means
to be fully absorbed in one's worshipful object For a devotee, samadhi means
being fully absorbed in Krsna. The more he can do this, the more he falls into
the category of being in samadhi. Samadhi is not something impossible to
attain if one is always absorbed in the devotional sevice of the Supreme Lord.
A book distributor can enter into this stage of samadhi pven
on the street. He enters Samadhi when
he is fully absorbed in the sankirtana mission. When it becomes his
only thought and meditation, he enters samadhi because of his sincere
dedication. But there is no way to stay on sankirtana unless you become
purified, and there is no way to become fully purified unless you do sankirtana.
Sankirtana is the means and sankirtana is also the end. It is the
means by which you can best serve and glorify Krsna, and it is the way in which
you can become glorified and glorious as Krsna's servant. Sankirtana is
an amazing service — you become purified by just continuing. I can guarantee
that any person who does sankirtana for ten years has the lotus feet of
Krsna fixed within his heart. I can also guarantee that if you engage in the
Krsna conscious sankirtana movement for this one lifetime, you will go
back to Godhead. Stamped and guaranteed!
