Krishna:Beloved of the universe Bhagavad Gita 22 Aug 2011

The greatest, dimension of, the happening called Krishna, is love, ability to receive and give love. I can say, the undercurrent of Krishna’s life. Whether he killed Kauravas or did politics with Shakuni or destroyed Sisupala or killed Kamsa or played with Gopikas or revealed this great Gita to Arjuna, everything, every incident, every happening, every dimension he expressed, the undercurrent, the connecting thread, of everything, is love.

His romance is one expression of his love. His politics is another one expression of his love. His management is another one expression of his love. His anger is another one expression of his love and his enmity is another one expression of his love. I can say, everything he expressed, the base material is love. He is love incarnate. He is the beloved of the universe.

I can say, most loved human being happened on the planet earth. Other gods are all may be worshiped, revered, respected, people will used to be devoted, but nobody is loved like Krishna. Even with Shiva, you are devoted, you revere, you respect, you worship, but, nothing like, Krishna, when it comes to the question of being loved. With so much of difficulty, so many people, so many people sacrifice so many things for the love of Krishna.

From the Gopikas and Gopas, to my Gopikas and Gopas the amount of sacrifice people have done for his love. Leaving the brothers, leaving the parents, leaving the family, leaving the relatives, giving up the wealth, unimaginable sacrifices. But I tell you, even if you sacrifice your very life, His one glance, just in the corner of the eye. One look is worthy!

Like a thread connecting all the flowers and making the flower as garland, if I have to find, the center thread, of Krishna, I can say – love. The story goes to tell, say, describes even Shakuni because of constant remembering, unaware way when he relaxes used to have a deep friendly, romantic connection with Krishna. When his logic is alive, active, “No! I’ll see to it what is done to this fellow.”

But when his logic is tired; because always the active logic is like a two gears hitting each other, without any lubrication. Its like a you having the teeth in the stomach and grinding, “drrr.. drrr.. parrra.. parrra.” Naturally the irritation, the friction, you can’t maintain, yourself in that high friction and irritation for a long time. So you would like to come down, from your high horse. You would like to come down, from that continuous irritation. You would like to come down, to that, little relaxed space, where your logic is not active all the time.

You may just want to rest. Even to sleep, you have to come down, from that logic, which works like teeth in the stomach, eating your own intestine. So whenever, Shakuni comes down from his self-destructive logic, he used to feel a very deep friendly, romantic connection with Krishna, “What a personality! Wow! What a grace.” But immediately the moment he becomes aware, “No! What are you thinking? You have to destroy him. You have to fight with him.” So he is again back, as a Shakuni.

Understand, Krishna, was able to infuse love even in his enemy’s hearts. You can’t separate Krishna and love. You can’t remember Krishna without remembering love. I tell you, if you have tasted the true love, you can’t remember love without remembering Krishna. He is symbol of love. He is the brand ambassador for love. Nobody, nobody is able to again, sit in His place.

The whole Bharatn psyche, still lives Krishna. I don’t want to use the word, ‘remembers Krishna’ – its too small word. Of course, any word I use to remember Krishna or to introduce Krishna, is too small. I say, still Bharatn psyche lives Krishna. Not just remembers. I think I am going to speak more on Krishna than on Gita, this next one-year, because he is the man who first set a trend that macrocosm can express in human body, microcosm, in the full-fledged, full-bloomed way.
