“For, O Arjun, the way they worship me, is the way I worship them; Knowing this secret does all wise men follow my path.”
– Krishna (Bhagvat Gita 4:11)
On day of Janmashtmi – Krishna’s Birthday; it is raining, inside and outside of me. It is bath for my soul. It is enlightenment. Just before my morning meditation I opened Bhagvat Gita randomly, seeking answers to some unknown questions buried deep in my heart. It is not for the first time that I am reading Bhagvat Gita, it is not for the first time that it is being sung. (Bhagavat Gita means Sung by God) But every time I tune into it, it teaches me something new, like all the wisdom is buried in there, the higher you rise the deeper it goes. When I opened it randomly, it was tenth chapter… the very beginning. I began to read, I began to soak…
Word by Word, Ocean by Ocean it enlightened by being. Here is what it said and what it meant…
Krishna revealed his deepest mystery to Arjuna…
My existence is not known to anyone, for I am cause of everyone’s existence. The one who knows me as unborn, as the one who is beyond the reality of birth and death and the greatest one; those wise ones among humans become free of karma.
All the feelings, emotions and vibrations rise from me. All the knowledge that was, is and will be; is from me. The one who knows me so, keeps me in his attention/focus/conscious (Could be – shifts his point of attraction to me); there is no doubt in that.
I am the cause of beginning of this world and whole world strives through me. The one who knows this, full of devotion and love, always worship me. They always talk about me, and know my effect in between of them. They are all satisfied, by discussing me with all effect and emotions, they all indulge in me. (Law of Attraction – All of their focus is on Krishna, hence they offer vibration similar to him… it raises their level of awareness and brings in all the good)
Skipping two pages: Arjuna asks Krishna – How should I know you? In what contexts are you worthy of being talked about? (In what sense should you be my focus of attention?)
Krishna answers – I shall reveal unto you, briefly for there is no end to its explanation. I am soul/essence of all that exists. I am beginning, middle and end of all times. In flames I am Sun with rays. In Vedas I am Samveda; I am Mind in Senses, I am conscious in all that lives. I am sea in water bodies.
I am King in Men! In those who count, I am time ( Seconds, Hours, Days, Years, Centuries etc., I am). In animals I am Lion King. In those who purify I am air; in rivers I am Ganges.
This all comes to conclusion with this that God is soul of everything. This is same as saying that everything is God.
You are that what you call God.
-Abraham Hicks
Everything raises form God, the Good and the Bad so says Krishna:
O Arjuna! In those who cheat, I am Gamble; in those who impress, I am impression and in those who win, I am Victory…
-Krishna
The entire world is God himself. It isn’t that I didn’t know so but now I know it even more. Now I have deeper understating. Now I can share it with you.
… I become this entire world with just tiny bit of my power of illusion.(Yogmaya)
-Krishna
It is amazing to experience light all around you when it is dark. I can feel joy flowing in my blood vessels. I feel my soul rising. I am flying. I am one with Krishna. I am Krishna.
So Hum (So Aham – I am God)
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
