krsna Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Here's the answer that one rahul bishwas gave: Quite apart from this, a side point is that Vaishnavas in general are not obsessed with this kind of mystical communion with God. They are more interested simply in serving God and purifying their hearts. Their confidence is that the Lord will manifest Himself before them when they become qualified, drawn by their devotion. Even the six gosvamis, who were all pure devotees and liberated souls, and could enter into Krishna's pastimes in meditation, never claimed that they saw Krishna. Rather, in a humble mood, they were always praying to the Lord, desiring for that day to come when they would be fortunate enough to see Krishna. Or, as one of our previous acharyas, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, would instruct: "Don't try to see Krishna. Rather, you should conduct your life in such a way that Krishna will want to see you!"
