We bloom when krshna is with us

God is not something that is available ready-made; it is our potential. We can actualize it, but we go on missing it. Man is like a seed: the seed has the potential to become the tree, but only the potential. It is not yet the tree; it can miss also. And millions of people go on missing. They are born as seeds, they live as seeds, they die as seeds; they never bloom, they never become self-actualized people.
Man blooms only when he is in contact with Krshna (the god of gods); in the presence of Krshna. The remembrance of Krshna functions almost like the sun rising in the morning. When the sun raises buds start opening on their own accord. Just the presence of the sun is enough and something starts happening in the hearts of the buds.
We carry all the treasures within but we never search our treasures within; it remains there waiting for us. We go on becoming Bankrupt because our all searches are in the outside world; we have not reached our Heart. And the krshna is waiting there. He is our innermost core, he is our life. Krshna happens when we know who we are. Krshna is there, only when heart is there. Modern man has by and by lost all track of his own heart. For us, heart has become only a physical thing, a pumping station for blood and purification. The true heart which is hidden behind the physical heart is fully ignored. We have still not descended from the head.
We have not come out of the flat life, the horizontal process of mundane life. Activate the heart, and Empower it. We can feel changing dimension from the horizontal to the vertical, we can move to the heights and the depths. We carry within us heights of the Himalayas and depths of the Pacific. And when one has known all the possible heights and all the possible depths, then only one does know what a treasure life has been. Once that divineness is tasted then many unwanted things disappear on their own accord. Like the sculptor chiseling out the unwanted portion of rock and suddenly there appears krshna in it.

Approach the life with relaxedness

We are all the reflection of krshna, and can also rightly be called the shadow of krshna. We are all joined to Krishna as the shadow, is to body. There is no way we can go away from krshna or the shadow leaving away from the body. The shadow has to simply follow the body. We have to understand this fact that we are having no option other than to fallow krshna. Once we understand this truth, life becomes very easy and blissful. Then we will know the fact that we are not the doer, it is all krshna who does through us, our success and failures are of Krishna’s. If we are successful, then the krshna in us is successful and with krshna we cannot fail as the whole responsibility is on Krishna.


Hence let the Krishna’s in us be the doers and let us dis own the responsibility, let us all become the witnesses and observers start living the life in a relaxed manner.

Accepts all contradictions, you attain totality

In Krshna, the mahayogi, meets all contradictions

Krishna is like a vast ocean on whose endless shore many great intellects and great lovers of krshna have made their own pools and started projecting and depicting it as krshna. The immensity of krshna is such that these pools don't even cover a small fraction of the ocean called Krishna. We may have some idea of the ocean; however cannot know the ocean from these pools. There is only one way to have the whole of Krishna, and that is to understand him choicelessly by dropping our choices and preferences for these pools. Understanding the whole-oceanic krshna is a blissful journey.

And the beauty is; in the process we will be integrated and made whole. In the very process of understanding the whole krshna, we will begin to be whole and holy. By dropping our choices and preferences, and understanding Krishna in his totality, we will find, by and by, our inner contradictions and conflicts have diminished and disappeared, the concept of life and its fragments have come together into an integrated whole. We will attain to what is called yoga or unity. In us will happen the union of yin and yang, the dancing of radha and krshna, the meeting of logic and illogic. For Krishna, yoga has only one meaning; to be united, to be integrated, and to be whole. That is why Krishna is called the mahayogi, one who has attained to the highest yoga, the totality by accepting the opposites together.

Live a life of krshna



Life should be lived with richness and with many colours, like the life of krshna. Normally we are obsessed with one part of life and overlook other aspects. We never try to know all the aspects, all the faces of life and Live in all the possible ways. We never enjoy the richness of life, and never witness the rainbow of life. We are obsessed with one part of life; we have only one colour to our life. Even that is not very intense, even that is very faint, only lukewarm. That's why all the misery. Misery is simply an indication that the man has not lived his life as he should have: with intensity, with passion, with authenticity, with sincerity through music, through poetry, through dance, through song, through work, through meditation, through love, through play.

One should not become attached to one colour, to one aspect of life. One should remain flexible, available to all the possibilities. One should keep all the doors open. We should not be afraid of unknowns, the non-familiars. Fear cripples many, paralyses many, so we only open a small door of our life, afraid that if we open all the doors we may not be able to manage. We should not be afraid of committing errors. Maybe so many things will start happening and we will not be in control. There is no need for us to be in control. Open all the doors, all the windows. Let the sun and the moon, the wind and the rains come. Let krshna come in as many ways as he wants: through music, through poetry, through dance, through song, through work, through meditation, through love, through play. Let all the doors be open and let the life receive all the colours, and all the richness and let us allow krshna come to us from all the openings.

the krshna in us

Observe the dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna, "So long as you believe you can kill someone, you are not a man with a soul, you are not a religious man. So long as you think that one dies, you don't know that which is within us, that which has never died and will never die. If you think you can kill someone you are under a great illusion, you are betraying your ignorance. The concept of killing and dying is materialistic; only a materialist can believe so. There is no dying, no death for one who really knows."

Nothing in this existence perishes, nor does anything new come into being. Only Forms and appearances changes, The Atma remain the same, the deepest mysteries of life remain ever the same. The Wave form of Every creature comes and goes; and the oceanic form of atma- the soul, remains eternal. Waves in the ocean rise and disappear, but the soul that which is hidden in the individual, in the form of ocean is remains there eternal. This world is filled with full of these forms, wave forms and oceanic form. You and me, including the supreme krshna is subject to these forms.

Krishna's physical form, his voice, his music are like the waves. His soul, hidden inside the body is like the ocean. Waves come and go, but the ocean is everlasting. While the forms of existence change, the soul, the spirit which abides in its élan vital is eternal. The Atma was there even when the Krishna in wave form was not born and the same Atma is there when the krshna in wave form is not here. It was there before our birth and it will be there even after our death also. Krishna is like a wave that arose from the oceanic form, appeared in Mathura, enchanted yashodha, loved radha, danced with gopis, delivered geeta, orchestrated gurushetra and become one with the same ocean.

If we look at our selves , we can also identify the existence of this two levels -- one at the level of waves and another at the level of the ocean. As waves we are individual human beings, and as the ocean we are also the supreme being or krshna.

All of us are also Krishna, but there is one difference. When Krishna is dancing as a wave he is aware that he belongs to the ocean, he is the ocean itself. But as far as we are concerned we know ourselves only as waves; we do not have the awareness of our oceanic. we forget that we are also the ocean. This is the difference between us and Krishna. And since we know ourselves only as waves, we fail to understand the oceanic form of Krishna.

Let us House Krshna

Whoever says, "I believe in Krishna," they are saying they have not been able to know Krishna. They are not strong enough to say it that way. They are not strong enough to see their own ignorance and accept it. What is the need of believing in krshna if we know him? Borrowed Knowledge never becomes belief. Knowledge remains knowledge. Ignorance tries to become belief. Belief arises out of ignorance. Because we don't know, we substitute our borrowed knowledge with belief. We hide your ignorance behind the belief. Whenever we believe, it is just to hide our ignorance..Let us try to feel and know krshna. Let us not believe in Krshna; because any relationship of belief is a wrong relationship. Let us know Him. And we can know him only through dissolving our egos, and for that total surrendering is required. The moment our ego disappears, Krshna appears. The absence of our Ego makes way for his presence. We can dissolve our egos only through surrendering and creating enough space in us. Only when we are spacious enough to contain Him, when we are no more there occupying inner space, he comes and occupies.

Let us also remember that we will never meet Krshna in person. We cannot, because the meeting will mean we are also real and Krshna is also real -- then there will be two realities which is against the truth. If we human being are real then krshna cannot be real. If krshna is real then we cannot be real. Then WHO IS krshna? Krishna is not a person. Krshna is the totality, the sum total of the whole existence. Krshna is not somebody: Krshna is 'allness'. You are krshna, we are krshna -- everybody is Krshna, all is Krshna. The Existence is krshna. Life itself is krshna. Krshna is the existence; He is impersonal 'beingness'. He is the truth.

man has lost his heart and thereby the connection with god

Man is born in God, he breathes in God, he lives in god and in one day he dissolves into him. MAN IS GOD, and is absolutely unaware of fact. God surrounds him everywhere in every action , within and from outside. In every walk Man moves with and moves in God,
God is not a person: God is the presence that is overflowing everywhere in all directions. The beauty of existence, the splendour, the majestic, the miraculous, the mysterious, the music of the earth, the dance of the wind, the singing of the birds, the fragrance of the flowers, the flowing of river, the whole magic of life is God. God has to be lived. God need not necessarily be worshipped: And to live with him and to live in him we need not go anywhere we are already in him. To live with God we need not cultivate any specific character. God is already there in our heart. He is our consciousness.
To live God we need not to follow any specific religion , we are already in it, he is already in us. THIS very moment God is showering on us. It is not a question of the future. We are closed. We stopped working from heart, our sensitivity died, mind started working overtime. God comes in many forms, we don't receive him. He knocks on our doors many a time, we don't listen to him. And he has been knocking for ages. He has been calling for ages, either we don't hear, or, even if sometimes we hear, we don't respond.
Man is very strange, the strangest creature on the earth. no other creature lives in such anguish -- even trees are far more blissful, even rocks have more of the heart than man. They are in tune with God, or in tune with totality. man has lost the connection.
