Marveling at Krsna’s genius

At this very moment I sit marveling at Krsna’s genius and kindness in designing and supplying the world with the Avocado (my favorite food).
The skin of the Avocado is a well-designed wrapper. It is tough, yet protective. It is fine, but easy to peel. The Avocado changes color from light, to dark green announcing that it is ripe.
The creamy “flesh” of the Avocado is an ideal food that contains at least thirteen essential vitamins, healthy fats – that reduce bad cholesterol, and life-sustaining minerals like potassium and magnesium.

Avocado trees generously extend their fruit laden arms as if to say, “Come here and take as many as you wish!”

And at the heart of every Avocado is the magic of a seed that is loaded with another tree.

One mature Avocado tree can supply fruits for a whole village. An Avocado grove can feed a city.

Such product design is inconceivably brilliant and is never to be reproduced by any mortal, however well funded with research money.

What a precious gift Krsna has given us in the Avocado!

But Krsna’s gifts are everywhere and bhakti yogis thrive by appreciating them and sharing them with others. Those who breathe the air of gratitude see Krsna’s completeness and generosity wherever they look.

The universe is full of possibilities and incentives, but a man or woman tainted by low association sees only the humdrum and suffers from distraction and ingratitude.

Today take time to examine and find value in at least one aspect of Krsna’s creation that is close to you at this very moment:

The miracle of your heart pumping, your stomach digesting, or the air of life entering your nostrils …

Advanced vaisnavas write songs about how much they value other vaisnavas, the holy dhama, the Srimad-bhagavatam and the holy names of Krsna …

Start each day by making your own gratitude list for Krsna’s kindness. Once you start, you’ll find that the list is endless.

Krsna is benevolent, munificent and is the best friend of every soul. By His mercy, life is free, happy and abundant – eternally.

Chant Hare Krsna and rejoice remembering how fortunate you are!
