“Receptive” implies being open to ideas and suggestions.

It means you are inclined and willing to receive whatever it is that you need at that moment – data, creativity, a new idea, or whatever. It’s the opposite of being closed minded and stubborn.

People who are receptive are willing to have a “beginner’s mind,” the willingness to learn, even if they are considered the expert. Because they are not defensive, these peop

But unfortunately, being misguided, instead of serving Krsna, we are serving so many other things. Somebody is serving his family. Somebody is serving his country. Somebody is serving his dog. In this way, service is there -- but the service is misplaced. Therefore we are not satisfied. Why in the material world people are not satisfied? Because his position is to serve Krsna. He is serving maya; therefore he is not happy. Plain thing. Krsna says, mamaivamso jiva-bhutah: [Bg. 15.7] "Jiva, the li

Krishna, the All-attractive One, the only object of love in existence, is attracted towards love. Keats had said, “Beauty is truth, truth beauty…” If a poet through his imagination could arrive at such a conclusion of reality, it is only stunningly unimaginable how beautiful the real ‘Reality’ would be. No wonder then, that Krishna is wondrously attracted towards His own beauty. Truth and beauty are synonymously interspersed within what we call love. There is no truth higher than love, and there

So this... Real religion is love, how to love God. That is real religion Dharma, what is that? Yato bhaktir... Sa vai pumsam paro dharmo [SB 1.2.6]. There are different kinds of dharma, or religious system. But real religious system means how we have learned to love God. That's all. Nothing more. No ritualistic ceremony, no formula, nothing. If your heart is always crying for God, that is perfect religion. That is perfect religion. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu says, sunyayitam jagat sarvam: "Oh

So the summary is there. Krsna is sitting, sarvasya ca aham, hrdi, within the heart, sannivistah, "I am seated there." Isvarah sarva-bhutanam [Bg. 18.61]. And He is giving intelligence and forgetfulness. Why one is forgetful of Krsna, and why one is conscious of Krsna? That is also due to Krsna. One who has tried to forget Krsna -- then Krsna is giving him opportunity to forget Krsna. One who is trying to know Krsna, then Krsna is giving intelligence to know Krsna. This is the process.
