182 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 13

person is to be free of material things, his mind cannot be vacant; there must be
subject matters for thinking, feeling and willing. Unless one’s mind is filled with
thoughts of Krsna, feelings for Krsna and a desire to serve Krsna, the mind will be
filled with material activities. Those who have given up all material activities and
have ceased thinking of them should always retain the ambition to think of Krsna.
Without Krsna, one cannot live, just as a person cannot live without some enjoy-
ment for his mind.
