How He appears? – Age after age. It’s so beautiful, so kind: coming in many different forms to charm us, to capture our attention that we’ll redirect ourselves toward the Lord of Love. But what about Him, His side? – That we don’t hear, except, really, in Chaitanya-lila.
The whole animation, every living being is either directly searching for Krishna or indirectly searching. Indirectly – they’re giving it so many other names: “entertaining” – so many substitutes. But really – it’s either directly or indirectly the search for Sri Krishna, Reality the Beautiful, Sweetness Personified.
At a certain point, the King gets off the throne, takes off the crown, puts down the scepter – that we want to know: what is the private life of divinity.
What is the voltage in the Krishna-nam of Srimati Radharani? – That’s inconceivable. But with that voltage of Krishna-nam Mahaprabhu is taking the name of Krishna and He’s unable to contain the joy that It’s producing.
If you can say “Krishna” with love and affection – that is perfection.
You can only become a devotee of Krishna by the well-wishes and the mercy of the other devotees.
Prabhupad [Swami Maharaja] said, it’s all a devotee needs: a little prasad, a place to stay and some seva. And “Krishna-Krishna”…
That’s kind of the way Krishna consciousness operates: you’re anticipating something, but you can’t say for sure that that’s going to be the outcome. So we are just happy to be involved.
