ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu asked, “What should all living entities constantly remember?â€

Purport

RÄmÄnanda RÄya replied, “The chief objects of remembrance are always the Lord’s holy name, qualities and pastimes.â€

ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam (2.2.36) states:

tasmÄt sarvÄtmanÄ rÄjan hariḥ sarvatra sarvadÄ
Å›rotavyaḥ kÄ«rtitavyaÅ› ca smartavyo bhagavÄn nṛṇÄm

Åšukadeva GosvÄmÄ« concludes, “The business of the living entity is to always remember the Supreme Personality of Godhead in every circumstance. The Lord should be heard about, glorified and remembered by all human beings.â€
