Pankaja_Dasa 1 Report post Posted May 5, 2004 Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.26.1 Bombay, December 13, 1974 (excerpt) Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada: If you can learn how to see Krsna within the heart always, twenty-four hours, then your life is successful. That is perfection of life. That is Krsna consciousness movement, how you can learn to see Krsna within your heart, within other's heart, and everywhere. Sthavara-jangama dekhe na dekhe tara murti. This is wanted. So this is possible by increasing our love for Krnsa. Simply we have to increase our love. Just like in practical life also, we begin to love somebody, one after another, gradually, not all of a sudden, similarly, we have to increase our love for Krsna. That love for Krsna is the devotional process. sravanam kirtanam visnoh smaranam .-sevanam arcanam vandanam dasyam sakhyam atma-nivedanam [sB 7.5.23] Then surrender. That is the ultimate state of loving affairs, surrender. Why one should surrender to another person unless there is love? Just like wife surrenders to husband and husband protects the wife. This is general duty. So why one man is interested with one woman for giving her all protection, and why one man is surrendered to..., one woman is surrendered to one man? What is the basic principle? The basic principle is love. So similarly, our full surrender, full Krsna consciousness, can be achieved when we develop our love for Krsna little by little, little by little, and then come to the perfection. When we come to the perfection, then we cannot live without Krsna. Just like Caitanya Mahaprabhu taught us. In the last stage of His life He exhibited such manifestation of love that He was dying without Krsna. -- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
