You Are Mad After An Appropriate Lover, But You Cannot Find That Within The Material World, That You Will Find When You Love Krsna

[Gavin Swinden]

(You are loving. You are mad after a appropriate lover who can love you also. But that you cannot find out within this material world. That you will find out when you love Kṛṣṇa." That is our Kṛṣṇa consciousness)

 

"As the devotee always think of Kṛṣṇa, similarly Kṛṣṇa also thinks of the devotee. He thinks more. That is the reciprocation.

 

ye yathā māṁ prapadyante

tāṁs tathaiva bhajāmy aham

(BG 4.11)

 

If you think of Kṛṣṇa twenty-four hours, Kṛṣṇa will think of you twenty-six hours. (laughter) Kṛṣṇa is so kind. If you do some service for Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa will reward you hundred times. But people, they do not want. They think, "What we shall benefit by serving Kṛṣṇa? Let us serve my dog." You see?

 

This is the misunderstanding. And our attempt is to awaken the dormant love of Kṛṣṇa. Everyone has got love—the stock of love is there—but it is being misused. They do not know where to place that love so that . . . because they do not know, therefore they are frustrated. Therefore they are frustrated.

 

So our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is simply to educate people that, "You are loving. You are mad after a appropriate lover who can love you also. But that you cannot find out within this material world. That you will find out when you love Kṛṣṇa." That is our Kṛṣṇa consciousness."
