There isn’t much value in thinking about how not to do something; that will only create fear. If I am driving, thinking about how not to cause an accident should not be the focus. Instead, how do I drive safely should be the focus. My focus is on driving safely, and then accidents will not happen automatically. It’s like when you’re speaking; if you don’t worry about saying foul words, you focus on what you want to say, and foul words will not come automatically.

Similarly, if you are clear about why you are in the association of devotees— to learn how to serve Krishna and how to love Krishna— and you just focus on that, a casual attitude will automatically decrease. By living in the association of devotees and regularly hearing, that gravitas will also be there, indicating that this is not a social club; it’s a spiritual movement.

(Inspired by Bhagavad-gita 03.39)
