As soon as a devotee sees something—be it movable or inert—he immediately remembers Krṣṇa. An advanced devotee is advanced in knowledge. This knowledge is very natural to a devotee, for he has already read in  Bhagavad-gītā  how to awaken Krṣṇa consciousness. According to  Bhagavad-gītā :
raso 'ham apsu kaunteya prabhāsmi śaśi-sūryayoḥ praṇavaḥ sarva-vedeṣu śabdaḥ khe pauruṣaṁ nrṣu
“O son of Kuntī [Arjuna], I am the taste of water, the light of the sun and the moon, the syllable  om  in the Vedic  mantras ; I am the sound in ether and ability in man.” (Bg. 7.8)
Thus when a devotee drinks water or any other liquid, he immediately remembers Kṛṣṇa. For a devotee there is no difficulty in awakening Kṛṣṇa consciousness twenty-four hours a day. It is therefore said:
sthāvara jaṅgama dekhe nā dekhe tāra mūrti sarvatra haya nija iṣṭa-deva-sphūrti
A saintly person, an advanced devotee, sees Kṛṣṇa twenty-four hours a day and nothing else. As far as movable and inert things are concerned, a devotee sees them all as transformations of Kṛṣṇa’s energy. As stated in  Bhagavad-gītā :
bhūmir āpo ‘nalo vāyuḥ khaṁ mano buddhir eva ca ahaṅkāra itīyaṁ me bhinnā prakṛtir aṣṭadhā
“Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego—all together these eight comprise My separated material energies.” (Bg. 7.4)
Actually nothing is separate from Krṣṇa. When a devotee sees a tree, he knows that the tree is a combination of two energies—material and spiritual. The inferior energy, which is material, forms the body of the tree; however, within the tree is the living entity, the spiritual spark, which is part and parcel of Krṣṇa. This is the superior energy of Krṣṇa within this world. Whatever living thing we see is simply a combination of these two energies. When an advanced devotee thinks of these energies, he immediately understands that they are manifestations of the Supreme Lord. As soon as we see the sun rise in the morning, we arise and set about doing our morning duties. Similarly, as soon as a devotee sees the energy of the Lord, he immediately remembers Lord Śrī Krṣṇa. This is explained in this verse:
