Beauty is a spark of Krishna but it makes us forget Krishna – what to do?

Thank you so beauty is a spark of Krishna but it causes us to forget Krishna so what is the solution? yes I gave a in London I gave a whole class I think three part class on spiritual perspectives on material beauty I will explain these three points over here very quickly first is that everything attractive comes from Krishna but everything attractive doesn’t take us to Krishna so there is things in goodness, there are things in passion there are things in ignorance so we have been given the intelligence to discriminate so if I for some people, for alcoholics alcohol has an intoxicating taste but that taste is also a spark of Krishna but that does not take us to Krishna so we have to use our intelligence to decide what is going to take me towards Krishna and what is not going to take me towards Krishna and then we have to minimize our exposure there is there is unavoidable exposure which we will all have because we can’t live in the world with closed eyes but there is also exposure that is sought out when there is exposure that is unavoidable over a period of time initially there may be a little agitation but over a period of time you just get used to it that it is, this is the way it is and maybe for sometime there is some agitation but afterwards this mind gets used to it the real problem is not just the perception the real problem is the imagination after we perceive something we imagine something based on that and when that imagination happens that is where the agitation comes so perception doesn’t usually call agitation it is imagination that calls agitation and if you can avoid that imagination dhyayato vishayan pum saakshasya contemplation means essentially imagine so if you avoid the imagination then the agitation can be substantially decreased so if firstly we we avoid unnecessary exposure it is not that we have to run away from unnecessary exposure just living in the world we have to expose ourselves to something but we can minimize our exposure as much as possible and avoid imagination based on exposure and most importantly this is all in the form of regulative but in the form of positive we all need to find out some things that stimulate us spiritually in the Bhakti Samyama Sindhu the word is used uddhipan uddhipan means spiritual stimulus and we need to keep this spiritual stimulus very readily accessible for us so for example some of us may like darshan so not just darshan of Krishna but may be a particular darshan very attractive so keep that very readily accessible so when the mind gets agitated have it in your phone and just see that darshan or some of us may be more verbal in our experience so we may like to remember some quotes some verses keep that one of us may be more musical so some Hare Krishna some bhajans, some kirtan so we hear that and that connects us to Krishna that directs our thoughts spiritually towards Krishna so we have to find out individually by our experience of Bhakti what is it that will direct our thoughts towards Krishna and keep that readily accessible to us so whenever we find some exposure to some objects which trigger us materially, then we immediately check that exposure and to avoid the imagination in the other direction we redirect our imagination towards Krishna we focus on trying to connect ourselves to Krishna expose ourselves to Krishna and through not just Krishna generally, generically but specifically in terms of some stimulus which connects us with Krishna and by that we can move towards Krishna.
