Pay more attention. Sometimes it remains, pay more attention than when it sometimes remains, keep the connection. That in every action, if we are doing 10 actions, and it remains in five and doesn't in five, then from now on, decide that we must keep it in six, it's okay if it's cancelled in four. And if it remains in six, then do this: now keep it in seven. Keep such a connection, do more. Yes. Should the connection be kept at the start or continued through the process? Should the connection be kept at the start or when the action is ongoing? Anytime. Keep it as much as possible. Yes. Akrurji has said that the root of bhakti bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn.

Only when the time comes for this jiva's liberation, through the service of saintly persons, does the mind's inclination connect with Your form. King Muchukund, Naradji had natural devotion. When he was young, so Naradji wrote his own story, right? That 'I would not go to play. Just serve the sadhus. Bring firewood, wash the utensils, sweep the courtyard,' perform such service. 'And when I am free, I sit in the discourse. But I didn't have much of a habit of playing and talking, of talking constantly, like us.' That is, 'I didn't have such a habit.' So, those were all his natural signs, that the last birth is about to happen. So, if there is such natural love, then it means that. If it is not natural, then it can be made so. It can also be made so, it's not that everyone naturally has it. But this is mentioned as a sign. King Muchukund has said, 'O Achyuta! Only when the time comes for the liberation of the jiva wandering in this forest of worldly existence, does he obtain the association of the Satpurush.' He obtains it suddenly. While wandering, he suddenly obtains it. When the opportunity has come, he should think that 'my last birth is about to happen.' And by taking advantage of it, if he makes a little effort, then it becomes his last birth. If he doesn't make any effort, then it doesn't happen.
