An Idle Mind is the Devil's Workshop
It is very wisely said that an idle mind is the devil's workshop. Therefore we must always keep our minds fixed on Krishna 24 hours a day. If we leave some gaps, some mental empty spaces, where we are not thinking of Krishna, maya or illusion will enter like a cancer and take over our consciousness. Therefore we must always be absorbed in thoughts of Krishna and serving Krishna. This will keep us on the safe side of existence and qualify us to return home, back to Godhead, at the time of death.

"Wherever there is Krishna, the master of all mystics, and wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and morality. That is my opinion."
Therefore with complete confidence Krishna conscious parents should see that their children are perfectly trained in Krishna consciousness.

Question: Can Krishna Conscious Children Compete?
Are children who have been brought up in the spiritual atmosphere of Krishna consciousness able to face the challenges and competition which the material world poses? We socialize only with devotees, hence this question arose.Heartfelt thanks.

Answer: They Will Be the Most Successful
If a child is properly trained in Krishna consciousness, he is better equipped to deal with the material world successfully than any non-devotee child because he will have a perfect understanding of how both the material energy and the spiritual energy are working. In this connection the Bhagavad-gita 18.78 affirms:yatra yogeśvaraḥ kṛṣṇo
yatra pārtho dhanur-dharaḥ
tatra śrīr vijayo bhūtir
dhruvā nītir matir mama
"Wherever there is Krishna, the master of all mystics, and wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and morality. That is my opinion."
Therefore with complete confidence Krishna conscious parents should see that their children are perfectly trained in Krishna consciousness.
