Why I cant understand God??
Today,I had the good fortune of meeting his Holiness Devamrita Maharaj at Candidasa place.We did some Kirtan,then he spoke on Chapter 7 verse 1 regarding absoloute truth .On the way back we(mitesh,joy) and myself were discussing about God and absolute truth.Well,the discussion boiled down to the fact that why cant we understand God?Well Krishna himself says it is impossible to understand him fully.Only by the way of devotion one can understand me as I am."bhaktya mam abhijanati yavan yas casmi tattvatah tato mam tattvato jnatva visate tad-anantaram"Chapter 18 verse 55.
The point I want to make out is that we dont even know our body so how in the world we can know about God without surrendering unto him.In the material world itself for example-I have never come across a Doctor who says I know the whole body,even to understand this minute body of ours(for that matter a house-fly),we have specialists!!ENT,Heart specialists,Opthalmologist..etc etc...but we never have a complete doctor..and we talk about why it is difficult to understand God who is all pervasive,all opulent,all powerful etc etc..!!.To understand a small part of body we have to dedicate considerable part of our "small " lives...and well still we are unable to find a cure to some of the diseases prevailing in these times.......
But Krishna is so sweet,so merciful that he says We can understand him only by the way of devotion...!!Now,someone might ask why we need to understand him in the first place?Well,why do u need to understand a small part of body??...answer is to cure the infected part...in the similar way to cure the"anxiety,pain,sorrow,voidness"we have to understand that we are not of this world..our original conciousness is to be serve Krishna....the eternal truth...who in turn will serve you(even if you dont want,see he is soooo merciful,so sweet)...and how we can do this...
Simply by surrendering unto Krishna..by chanting Hare Krsna Hare Krnsa Krsna Krsna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
My pranam to my spiritual Master ,Ganesh Maharaj who makes me understand and gives this foolish fellow intelligence to understand truth"Lord Krishna"!
Ganesh Maharaj Ki Jai!!
