Thirst for Krishna, His flute, for seeing Him, hearing Him, for installing Him in the heart, in the mind, for grasping His Reality through the intellect – this thirst is the healthiest, the most conducive to peace. Devotion to Krishna is the chain by which the monkey mind can be fastened and subdued. Transmute all the desire with which the senses torment you into the thirst for Krishna and you are saved. Krishna draws the mind away from sensory desires. He pulls the mind towards him and thus they are pulled away from everything else, for everything else is inferior, less valuable! He satisfies the deepest thirst of man, for peace, joy and wisdom. When Krishna-trishna is quenched, the highest bliss is attained; there is no more need, want, defect or decline. The urge to drink inferior drinks that only feed thirst disappears once the sweetness of Krishna Nama and Krishna Bhava (name and thought of Krishna) are tasted. Sense objects are like seawater that can never allay thirst. – Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 06, Ch 24.
