225 - Krishna Acts Whether We Are Conscious or Unconscious of Him (Path of Perfection Chapter 6)

Published: March 22, 2021, 3:50 p.m.

Whatever is done in K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a consciousness, knowingly or unknowingly, will have its effect. Children who bow down or try to vibrate K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a\u2019s names or clap during k\u012brtana are actually accumulating so much in their bank account of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a consciousness. Fire will act, whether one is a child or an adult. If a child touches fire, the fire will burn. The fire does not say, \u201cOh, I will not burn him. He is a child and does not know.\u201d No, the fire will always act as fire. Similarly, K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is the supreme spirit, and if a child partakes in K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a consciousness, he will be affected. K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a will act, whether the child knows or does not know. Every living being should be given a chance to partake of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a consciousness because K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is there and will act. Therefore everyone is being invited to come and take pras\u0101da, because this pras\u0101da will someday take effect.\n\nWe should be careful not to make the mistake of thinking that everyone is K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a; rather, we should see K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a in everyone. K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is all-pervading. Why is He to be seen only in human beings? As stated in the Brahma-sa\u1e41hit\u0101, He is also present within the atom: a\u1e47\u1e0d\u0101ntara-stha-param\u0101\u1e47u-cay\u0101ntara-stham. The word param\u0101\u1e47u means \u201catom,\u201d and we should understand that K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is present within every atom. \u201cA true yogi observes Me in all beings and also sees every being in Me.\u201d How does the yogi see every being \u201cin Me\u201d? This is possible because the true yogi knows that everything that we see is K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. We are sitting on this floor or on this carpet, but in actuality we are sitting on K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. We should know this to be a fact. How is this carpet K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a? It is K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a because it is made of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a\u2019s energy. The Supreme Lord has various energies, of which there are three primary divisions \u2013 material energy, spiritual energy, and marginal energy. Par\u0101sya \u015baktir vividhaiva \u015br\u016byate. We living entities are marginal energy, the material world is material energy, and the spiritual world is spiritual energy. We are marginal energy in the sense that we can be either spiritually or materially situated. There is no third alternative; either we become materialistic or spiritualistic. \u2022\u2022\u2022 read with us: biglink.to/pathofperfection & check out our website for the catalogue of all the books and episodes so far www.sravanamdiaries.com
