The Devotee Will Say, Krsna Is Everywhere, Inside And Outside

[Gavin Swinden]

(And the atheist will say, "Where is Kṛṣṇa?" And advanced devotee will say: "Everywhere Kṛṣṇa, antar bahiḥ, inside and outside)

 

Sudāmā: "So then like the sunset, that is also Kṛṣṇa's artistry?"

 

Prabhupāda: "Everywhere. . . . māṁ paśyati sarvatra sarvaṁ ca mayi paśyati (BG 6.30). That is advancement of Kṛṣṇa consciousness: everywhere one sees Kṛṣṇa, and in Kṛṣṇa he sees everything. Therefore he sees Kṛṣṇa only. He sees nothing. And the atheist will say, "Where is Kṛṣṇa?" And advanced devotee will say: "Everywhere Kṛṣṇa, antar bahiḥ, inside and outside." Nato nāṭyadharo yathā (SB 1.8.19)."
