KRISHNA DWELLS IN THE HEART OF CREATED BEINGS

[Guest guest]

SRIMAD BHAGAVATA MAHAPURANA. Part II, Book 10

 

 

 

 

 

Perceiving such supreme love of Nanda and Yasoda for Lord Sri Krsna,

 

Uddhava joyfully spoke to Nanda while in Vraja:

 

 

 

Indeed you two are the most praiseworthy of all embodied beings here

 

on this earth.

 

O bestower of honour, such unique love has been conceived by you for

 

Sri Krsna, the Father and Controller of all.

 

Indeed Balarama and Sri Krsna are both the material and efficient cause

 

of the universe. They are also the Purusa and Pradhana. (Prakriti)

 

Entering into the living organisms, They control the various types of

 

consciousness, in the form of the individual soul conditioned by those

 

organisms, eternal as They are.

 

 

 

Focusing one's impure mind on Sri Krsna for an instant at the time of death

 

one speedily attains the supreme goal, burning the store of Karma

 

and becoming One with Brahma, the Absolute, and attaining a form

 

consisting of sattva unmixed with rajas and tamas.

 

You cherish great devotion to That Supreme Spirit, Lord Narayana,

 

the Soul, as well as the Source of all, who has assumed a human semblance

 

for some purpose.

 

 

 

What meritorious act remains to be done by you two?

 

 

 

At no distant date will the divine Sri Krsna, the Protector of the Yadus,

 

come back to Vraja and bring delight to you, His parents.

 

 

 

Sri Krisna will make good what He told you on coming back after killing

 

Kamsa, the enemy of the Yadus, in the midst of an assembly.

 

Grieve not, O highly blessed ones; you will find Sri Krsna by your side.

 

 

 

He dwells in the heart of created beings as fire is in wood.

 

Indeed none is unwelcome to Him, who is not identified with a body.

 

Nor is anyone superior or inferior nor even unequal in His eyes.

 

He being the same to all.

Jaya Sri Radhey!

The great Advaita acarya, Sri Madhusudana Saraswati declared:

 

"dhyAnAbhyAsa vazIkRtena manasA

tannirguNaM niSkriyaM

jyotiH kiJcana yogino yadi paraM

pazyanti pazyantu te

asmAkaM tu tadeva locana

camatkArAya bhUyAcciraM

kAlindI pulineSu yat kimapi

tannIlaM maho dhAvati! "

 

 

If the yogis with their MINDS which have been brought

UNDER CONTROL through the practice of MEDITATION,

SEE and REALIZE SOME such TRANSCENDENTAL LIGHT

that is WITHOUT DIVINE FORM, QUALITIES and EXPLOITS,

LET THEM SEE!!

 

BUT, for FILLING OUR BLESSED EYES with

STRANGE ASTONISHMENT and RAPTURE

LET THERE BE FOREVER that

INDESCRIBABLE BLUE FORM OF LIGHT ALONE,

WHICH RUNS about HITHER and THITHER on the

SANDY BEACHES of the KALINDI (YAMUNA) RIVER!!!

 

 

"vaMzI vibhUSita karAn nava nIradAbhAt

pItAMbarAd aruNabiMba phal AdharoSThAt,

pUrNendu sundara mukhAd aravinda netrAt

kRSNAt paraM kimapi tattvam ahaM na jAne!"

 

I DO NOT KNOW ANY ABSOLUTE REALITY BEYOND THAT OF LORD KRISHNA,

 

WHOSE Delicate Hands are adorned with Divine Flute,

WHOSE BLUE Bodily luster is that of a fresh rain-cloud,

WHOSE Silken Attire is the Golden yellow robe,

WHOSE Delicious Lips are like the red, ripened fruit,

WHOSE Charming Face is beautiful like the cool full moon, and

WHOSE Loving eyes are like the petals of blooming lotus flower!!!

 

-Sri Mudhusudana Sarasvati-Gudaartha dipika

 

Jaya Sri Radhey!

Namaste all.

 

parAkRta namad bandhaM

- gUDArtha dIpika, Ch.14. Advaita acharya Sri Madhusudana Sarasvati

 

I adore the great Personality, the Son of Nanda,

Who removes all the bondage of those that worship (Him),

Who is the Supreme Brahman in the form of a Human being,

and Who is all that is the Essence of beauty.

 

--------

 

Sri Kripapluji Maharaj often recites many beautiful verses from

Upanishads, Ramayan and Bhagavatam in his discourses to reveal the

greatness of Lord Krishna and Prema Bhakti, the selfless Divine Love.

 

The Cosmic creator Lord Brahma who received Vedic knowledge directly

from the Lord, offered many wonderful, enlightening prayers to Sri

Krishna in 14th chapter of 10th canto:

 

"You are the only Truth, the Self, the Purusha, the Ancient One, Who

are self-effulgent, infinite, the Cause, eternal, imperishable,

unlimited Bliss, taintless, full, nondual, free from limiting

adjuncts, and immortal."

 

- Srimad Bhagavatam 10.14.23

 

King Parikshit asked Sukadeva Paramahamsa:

O brahmana, how could the cowherd women have developed for Krishna,

someone else's son, such unprecedented pure love — love they never

felt even for their own children? Please explain this.

 

SB 10.14.49:

 

sarveSAm api bhUtAnAM nRpa svAtmaiva vallabhaH

itare'patya-vittAdyAs tad-vallabhatayaiva hi

 

tad rAjendra yathA snehaH sva-svakAtmani dehinAm

na tathA mamatAlambi-putra-vitta-gRhAdiSu

 

dehAtma-vAdinAM puMsAm api rAjanya-sattama

deho'pi mamatA-bhAk cet tarhy asau nAtmavat priyaH

yathA dehaH priyatamas tathA na hy anu ye ca tam ||

 

yaj jIryaty api dehe'smin jIvitAzA balIyasI

tasmAt priyatamaH svAtmA sarveSAm eva dehinAm

tad-artham eva sakalaM jagac caitac carAcaram

 

Sri Suka explained:

 

In all beings, O King, it is one's own self alone that one finds dear.

All other things, whether children or property, are dear only because

of the love one has for oneself. Therefore, O king, embodied beings

never have as much affection for those like their children, wealth or

homes, who are merely connected to them, as they do for the body, with

which they identify themselves.

 

O greatest of kings! Those who identify with the body, still have more

affection for the soul than for the body, to which they are so

attached. Thus, when the body grows old and becomes useless, they

still continue to desire life.

 

Therefore, one's own self is the most

dear thing to every living being.

It is for the sake of self the entire world

exists, whether moving or unmoving.

 

||Bhagavatam 10.14.50-54 ||

 

na vA are patyuH kAmAya patiH priyo bhavaty Atmanas tu kAmAya patiH

priyo bhavati | na vA are jAyAyai kAmAya jAyA priyA bhavaty Atmanas tu

kAmAya jAyA priyA bhavati | ... na vA are sarvasya kAmAya sarvaM

priyaM bhavaty Atmanas tu kAmAya sarvaM priyaM bhavati | AtmA vA are

draSTavyaH zrotavyo mantavyo nididhyAsitavyo maitreyy Atmano vA are

darzanena zravaNena matyA vijJAnenedaM sarvaM viditam |

 

Sri Maharaj ji's devotees are also very familiar with his melodious

chanting of shloka 2.4.5 of 'Brihad Aranyaka Upanishad', which too

supports this universal truth.

 

kRSNam enam avehi tvam AtmAnam akhilAtmanAm

jagad-dhitAya so'py atra dehIvAbhAti mAyayA

 

Sri Suka continued:

 

This Krishna is the Self of all selves. For the benefit of the world,

he has appeared here by his illusory power, as though an embodied

being.

 

vastuto jAnatAm atra kRSNaM sthAsnu cariSNu ca

bhagavadrUpam akhilaM nAnyad vastviha kiJcana

 

- Srimad Bhagavatam 10.14.56

 

God-realized saints in this world see Lord Krishna in all things,

whether fixed or moving, as multiple projected forms of the

Supreme Lord.

Such enlightened persons recognize no truth apart

from Lord Sri Krisha.

 

sarveSAmapi vastUnAM bhAvArtho bhavati sthitaH

tasyApi bhagavAn kRSNaH kim atad vastu rUpyatAm

 

- Srimad Bhagavatam 10.14.57

 

Of all things the essential substance rests in the spiritual self. Of

that again, Lord Krishna is the Essence of that spiritual self, being

the Supreme Self.

 

Say, what thing can there be without Him!

 

Jaya Sri Radhey!
