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.

To be in thought is to be human; to be below thought is to be animal; to be beyond thought is to be divine.

Logic raises questions; it goes on raising. That is the nature of our logical mind. And if we go on following those logical questions, we can go on ad infinitum. Let us for a change put aside our mind -- its logic, its reasoning and for few moments try to be without thought. And if we, even for a single moment, can achieve that state of non-thought or thoughtlessness, we will come to realize that the part is equal to the whole, because suddenly we will see all the boundaries have disappeared. All the divisions have disappeared. Because all Boundaries are self-created; They are just thoughts. That's why, whenever there is no thought in the mind, the concept of "I" or "you" will not be there. A thoughtless mind is egoless; a thoughtless mind is boundary-less,. This thoughtless mind is the infinite. Even for a single moment, if there is no thought, we are the infinite -- we are one with infinite, because without thought there can be no boundary; without thought the concept of "I or you" disappear and the divine descends and we and the whole have become one. To be in thought is to be human; to be below thought is to be animal; to be beyond thought is to be divine.
That is what Ishavasya Upanishads says, "you can take out the whole from the whole, and still the whole remains behind. You can put the whole into the whole, and still the whole remains the whole." Let us become the whole and be divine.

Let us celebrate the AKSHAY TRITIYA with full of richness.

Life means abundance, full of richness, richness in every possible dimension. This existence is filled with millions of plants, millions of trees, millions of stars, million of flowers, their fragrance, and their colors. And these flowers, these stars are ever expanding. Just as a flower opens up and the petals start going away from the center, the universe is continuously flowering, blossoming, opening -- and with a tremendous speed. We human beings who take birth here don't know what life is for. We have never lived our life. Though we have been born; we have not learned to be alive. We are vegetating and thinking we are living. And dieing, without ever having lived at all. These are the miracles that go on happening all around the world; people who have never lived, die -- such an impossibility! But it happens every day. And many have recognized it at the moment of death, and have said it is so.

The man who knows nothing of the great world of music is poor; he is missing one of the greatest luxuries of life. The man who does not know how to enjoy great art works of world does not know anything about the colors. Millions of people never raise their eyes towards the sky and enjoy a sunrise, a sunset and the splendor of it. We go on missing the a sunrise, a sunset, never recognizing a sunrise, never stopping for a moment to look at a sunset and all the colors that the sunset leaves behind in the sky. We don't know what colors it has taken there -- what shape, what beauty, what kind of beings have evolved there -- but one thing is certain, that existence is overflowing. With everything it is luxurious. It is not a poor existence. Poverty is man made and it is man's creation.

Living can only mean one thing: living life multidimensionally with full of richness-- the music, the dance, the poetry, the painting, the sculpture with full of creativity and full of heart. It is all richness of life. Let us not be a worshipper of poverty; this existence is full of richness, it is luxurious, abundantly luxurious. Where one flower will do, millions of flowers blossom.

Let us resolve on this Akshay Tritiya day to live tremendously, ecstatically, in every possible way. On the physical level, on the mental level, on the spiritual level, live to the uttermost of your possibility. And let the sun and the moon in us be filled with utmost energy.

to find our lord is simple, it is a miracle we go on missing him

We go on missing our krshna because we go on looking far away. We are searching krshna with all those means and methods which are good for searching distance things, hence they are taking us away from krshna, hence we go on missing. A telescope is good to see things which are far away, but if we start looking for things through the telescope which are not far away, which are very close by, we will miss them.. and krshna is the closest to us! Even to look at him with open eyes is to miss him, because open eyes too look far away. Even an inch away is far away. if we observe that is in deep prayer or in deep meditation, we automatically close our eyes. thru closed eyes we come closure to our being, hence Krshna can be seen only with closed eyes: he is so close by --even open eyes will take us far away from him. He is just in the heart beat. This is the open secret: don't look far away, don't go after the distant, search in the close-by, look within! And krshna has always been there -- it is a miracle that we miss him! To find krshna is the simplest thing --to miss him is really a miracle. It is simply incredible how we go on missing him, because we live in him, we are born in him, we breathe in him, we die in him. hence let us change our approach, let us approach krshna with closed eyes, looking within, krshna ensures his presence there in, in us

Let us dissolve our head and grow with our heart and godliness.

The heart, it is called as the divine cave, and somewhere behind the lungs the cave is hidden where our life energy, the sensitivity, the creativity and our gods live together. As we and krshna are not two separate entities. we are the seed and god and godliness is the blossoming of it; Hence a sincere effort to be made to find where that cave is and how to enter into it. However the materialistic have gone very far away from their hearts. They are more with their head. The head is the farthest point from the heart. the distance between the head and the heart is not in few inches as it looks , but it is in infinite They are poles apart. The heart is on one corner of existence and the head is on another corner of existence. A doubting mind, remains in the head, is hung up there, and suffers tremendously because life never opens its doors for doubt. Doubt itself is the block. The moment you doubt, you are closed -- so the mind is a closed phenomenon; the heart is an opening. When you trust, you open up-- when trust is full then the opening is total. Few moments of trust become great glimpses into divinity. It takes us to godliness and krshna and thus enable us to merge with him hence let us grow with heart and enjoy the growing moments with godliness.
