When You Read Bhagavad Gita Or Krsna Book Seriously, Then Krsna Understands "Now He Is Serious To Understand Me

[Gavin Swinden]

(Kṛṣṇa is within your heart, so when you read Bhagavad-gītā or Kṛṣṇa Book with little seriousness, then Kṛṣṇa understands, "Now he is serious to understand Me." He's with the . . . you haven't got to search out Kṛṣṇa. He's already within you. Simply you have to become little serious)

 

"If you simply read Kṛṣṇa Book, although it looks like story, then you become delivered from these clutches of repetition of birth and death. It is so nice. Because you will understand Kṛṣṇa, what is Kṛṣṇa, and here it is said, janma karma me divyaṁ ye jānāti tattvataḥ (BG 4.9).

 

It is explained. The people who are reading Kṛṣṇa Book very seriously, and tries to understand Kṛṣṇa, he will understand. Kṛṣṇa is very kind. As soon as he begins reading Kṛṣṇa book with a little faith and adherence, Kṛṣṇa will be very much pleased. Śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ (SB 1.2.17).

 

Kṛṣṇa is within your heart, so when you read Bhagavad-gītā or Kṛṣṇa Book with little seriousness, then Kṛṣṇa understands, "Now he is serious to understand Me." He's with the . . . you haven't got to search out Kṛṣṇa. He's already within you. Simply you have to become little serious, "Kṛṣṇa, kindly give me knowledge so that I can understand." Buddhi-yogaṁ dadāmi tam."
