the more we become conscious of where our consciousness is the more we can tap the power of our consciousness we always have consciousness but we aren’t always conscious of where our consciousness is our consciousness is our most undervalued resource whatever we do learn experience or enjoy we all do it with our consciousness we often try to get better things to do to learn to experience to enjoy but we hardly ever try to better the medium through which we experience all those things that is our own consciousness and that neglect often undermines our efforts for a fulfilling life suppose we have delicious food to eat but if our consciousness is filled with resentment about something or someone we won’t be able to taste the food much to enjoy the food much or even enjoy it at all in some cases unless we learn to focus our consciousness we can’t we can’t experience or enjoy anything at all the Bhagavad Gita urges us to become more consciousness conscious in 626 it says wherever and whenever our mind wanders and the mind is the primary channel through which our consciousness wanders about so bring it back under the control of the self the first thing for having a more fulfilling life is that we need to become conscious of where our consciousness is and then get it to where we where we want it to be this can if we can do this then we can tap the power of our consciousness more and we can enrich every area of our life if we study more if we are attentive while studying we can learn so much more in the same investment of time if we are more present in our relationships and interactions with others we can connect deeper with people and have more satisfying relationships if we are more aware of the blessings that we do have in our life instead of lamenting about the blessings about the things we don’t have then we can be more content right now the spiritual journey is also a journey of consciousness whereby first we become aware of where our consciousness is and then we find out what is the most enriching object for our consciousness and then direct our consciousness there through the most accessible pathways Gita Wisdom explains that the all attractive supreme Krishna is the most enriching object of consciousness and we can connect with him, we can direct our consciousness toward him through various channels either directly devotional or indirectly by doing whatever we are doing with the purpose of expressing our loving service to him and Bhakti Yoga is a time tested process which provides us various channels toward for the purpose of directing our consciousness toward Krishna if we learn to do Bhakti practices not ritualistically but consciously then if during the practices of Bhakti we become conscious and direct our consciousness toward Krishna then we will find that we can experience immense enrichment in fact we can preview eternal ecstasy in the here and now
