This Is Krsna Consciousness, She Is Always Anxious To Give Protection To Krsna

[Gavin Swinden]

(Because this is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. She is always anxious to give protection to Kṛṣṇa. The best service. Kṛṣṇa does not require anyone's service. He is complete, pūrṇam. But for pleasing His devotee, He becomes dependent)

 

"You give everything to God. That is God consciousness. Just like the conception of accepting God as child. That is better conception than to accept God as father, because from father we simply take away: "Father, give me this, give me that, give me that, give me that."

 

And if you accept God as child, then you have to give everything. This is Gauḍīya-Vaiṣṇava conception. Yaśodāmāyi, she has accepted . . . she's is worshiping God as child, so that she is always engaged that Kṛṣṇa may not be in any inconvenience about His body, about His comfort.

 

Always Mother Yaśodā is anxious that, "Kṛṣṇa is now very naughty. He may not capture some monkey, He may not fall down on the water, He may not be burnt in the fire." Always anxious. Because this is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. She is always anxious to give protection to Kṛṣṇa.

 

The best service. Kṛṣṇa does not require anyone's service. He is complete, pūrṇam. But for pleasing His devotee, He becomes dependent. He is bothering mother, "I am hungry. Why don't you give Me food? I will steal butter, your stock." So this philosophy, Gauḍīya-Vaiṣṇava philosophy, is very sublime, to accept God as subordinate."
