Today as always, man seeks God – and often without knowing he is doing so, all human activity – good, bad or indifferent is actually misplaced search for God. The fact is that man in his true nature is already divine, but this divinity is covered. Life’s one purpose is the realisation of divinity. Realisation of this – divinity is religion of man or ultimate wellness – can be practised by yoga of knowledge, conscious control of mind, selfless work or karma.
Krishna is our inner conflict, our consciousness, our emotional wellness. He is a true balance between our expressive and repressive emotion. A right balance as if riding a bicycle where we are maintaining our balance in momentum. Life is flowing, a momentum. Krishna consciousness accepts life in all facets, in all elements and colours.
It is a small bundle of joy dancing and celebrating in this mundane world of sadness and madness. Krishna consciousness means accepting life in duality, be a yogi and bhogi simultaneously at two different planes of life. It is really arduous to under stand Krishna consciousness. It is easy to understand that a man should run away from the world if he wants find peace but is really difficult to understand that one can find peace in the trunk of market place. A flame of candle can remain smooth and steady way from wind and storms, but how is it possible that a candle can still burn steadily in midst of storms.
Krishna consciousness says fight, fight with absolute surrender to God. Become a vehicle, surrender means absolute awareness. Surrender means dropping the ego and ego is our unconscious state of mind. Krishna consciousness is egoless-ness and sublimation to your inner god and then leave it to him. Then asking your awakened mind. If your mind tells you to become a monk, be a monk. If he says be a warrior be a warrior.
When Arjun was in distress in battlefield, Krishna says, “Give up everything and come to my feet” surrender and sublime into me, I am in you, I means I which permeates whole cosmos, surrender means surrendering to the primordial and mysterious energy that permeates the vast cosmos. Krishna consciousness has taught us that a man can hold to his love and compassion even in battlefield. It has a huge relevance for the future of mankind.
Krishna consciousness is an art of living where your mind body and soul remain calm, positive yet in tandem in the cyclone of our life. It’s like a lotus in water unattached, untouched while living in the life with fullest spirit.
Krishna consciousness is happiness in sadness, non-violence in violence, beauty in ugliness, love in hatred. It’s an awakened mind like Buddha. Krishna consciousness cannot be experienced in a piecemeal fashion. Krishna is wholesome. Krishna consciousness has to be accepted entirely in all weathers, in all situations of life. It’s a wellness in paradox, peace in war, love in hatred, light in darkness, life in death. It is our inner consciousness, our altered ego, our repressed emotions. It has to be expressed in an awakened mind not in an unconscious state of mind.
