Krishna is so high above us
we can see only a flash.
But there’s a pure devotee,
and he can see the Lord with
eyes of pure devotion. He
can see Krishna up close in Vraja
to play with Him.
He’s a rare soul, and out of millions
of liberated souls you might find one
who sees Krishna up close
and plays with Him. The
gopis can do it. They
run out of their houses
and run to the spot where
Krishna stands. And the
birds stand above Him in
the trees meditating on His
form like mystic yogis.
Most people are blind
and can’t see Govinda.
I can’t see Him, but I
know He’s there, I hear
the sound vibration of His name,
and I keep on chanting
until the time will come
when I can see His form.
I’ll comprehend His pastimes
and qualities, I’ll know
everything about Him.
It all depends on progressive hearing.
One thing leads to another.
Rupa Goswami said, “If you
want sane family life, don’t
go see Govinda standing in the
moonlight or He will capture you.”
Do you want to be His beloved?
It sounds nice.
Give up all other attachments,
and just serve Krishna.
It gives the highest bliss.
I don’t want to be anyone’s servant but His.
HH Satswarup Swami
