Devotion to the Divine will always give you Bliss and Prosperity - Swami

[Guest guest]

Krishna had to meet evil doers and destroy them one by one, through His life. His parents, His companions, His devotees, no one had peace from this tribe. The message of Krishnastami is that you must see the truth that is covered by all the tales and legends that tarnish the name.

 

Devotion to the divine will give you bliss, and prosperity and peace. It cannot inflict pain, perturbation or personal anxiety. It fosters love and brings all together as one band of brothers. The Avathaar will not be affected in the least by these trivial tactics. It is love itself; so, it is always bliss, always happy in song and dance.

 

Krishna lived all His years singing and dancing in the ecstasy which was His very nature. He was humming a tune within Himself all the while, whether He was on a flower bed or a battle field.

 

I too am unaffected by praise or blame. My Aanandha (bliss) never suffers diminution. Where there is love, there is Aanandha; where there is Aanandha, there is music. That is the reason why Krishna sang the Bhagavath Geetha (the celestial song) while the clarion calls to start the holocaust were rising from the serried ranks, eager for the fray.

 

Love knows no fear, no untruth, no anxiety, no grief. I am love; I shower love; I share love; I am pleased with love; I bless that you have more and more of love to more and more beings. Love is God, Love is Love.

 

- From Swami's 1974 Krishna Jayanthi Discourse.
