We Can Teach The Art Of Seeing Krsna Within The Core Of The Heart In One Minute

[Gavin Swinden]

(In our bhakti-yoga we can teach this art of seeing Kṛṣṇa within the core of the heart in one minute. It is so simple. You are seeing Kṛṣṇa here. You must have impression and try to keep that impression within your heart always. Then you become first-class yogī)

 

"That yoga means you have to come to the platform of prema, love, not that simply official practice, you can see. You have to come to the platform . . . Without having love connection with Kṛṣṇa, it is not possible to see Him. You may practice this haṭha-yoga or gymnastic yoga for many, many births—you cannot see Kṛṣṇa.

 

Kṛṣṇa can be seen when you smear with love ointment in your eyes. Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena. And that is possible: bhakti, through bhakti. Therefore, why not practice bhakti-yoga from the beginning if you want to see Kṛṣṇa? And that is recommended by Kṛṣṇa:

yoginām api sarveṣāṁmad-gata āntarātmanāśraddhāvān bhajate yo māṁsa me yuktatamo mataḥ(BG 6.47)

 

Kṛṣṇa says, "He's first-class yogī." Who? "Who is always trying to see Kṛṣṇa within the heart." So is it very difficult task? In our bhakti-yoga we can teach this art of seeing Kṛṣṇa within the core of the heart in one minute. It is so simple.

 

You are seeing Kṛṣṇa here. You must have impression and try to keep that impression within your heart always. Then you become first-class yogī. Why so much gymnastic and pressing the nose? (laughter) No. Take directly."

[Tamohara dasa ADMIN.]

The self is eternally alive, in loving relationship with Godhead and Associates. This world is temporary, therefore, we cannot find happiness, not to our spiritual satisfaction. So, we endure for some time here, and hopefully cultivate our devotional service to the Eternal, Who is conscious of all things and sees all we do, feels all we feel, and is our well-wisher. So, we do our duties understanding this nature, and have hope for Mercy.
