HARE KRISHNA!

There is this ongoing debate,  should we keep asking our dearest Lord Sri Krishna to fulfil our desires, aspirations , cure us of our worldly sufferings, our financial, health and other problems?

One school of thought opines that since we are children of our loving Lord Sri Krishna we can ask him as much and much more for he is ever willing to listen, bestow with joy and above all eager to solve each of our problems , big or small and hence we surely need to directly ask our Lord and not at all feel bad or guilty of the same.

Another school of thought subscribes , our dearest Lord Sri Krishna is our creator, what is that , he does not know, what is that we need to go and ask him when unasked he is forever showering in bountiful. Does our Lord Sri Krishna not know what is that at each moment his creation is hankering after?.  Are all  our ailments  so unbearable that he needs to be highlighted to cure us when in reality our pains are only so much as we can bear for he knows the endurance level of each of his creation and hence the problems will never at any point rise beyond the individual tolerance level for he knows that would be the break point of his creation and hence let us bear the cross which each of us have to as ordained by our karmic past and present.

Have thought over this in depth, should we ask or not, yes no doubt, each to his own, but the devotees who have unflinching faith in our dearest Lord Sri Krishna never ask the Lord anything , they very happily keep serving his lotus feet for they are very sure that he knows our various needs at various times, our  pains , sorrows and  afflictions. Classic example of this is mentioned in our divine scriptures when Sudama his best childhood friend who is in dire poverty reaches to meet our dear Krishna and feels very hesitant to ask him anything despite countless times conveyed by  his wife he needs to ask his best friend to grant them some worldly riches to sustain them because of their abject poverty.  All the way, after crossing miles to reach our Lord Sri Krishna with a desire to ask he does not ask anything and just returns home but is overjoyed when he sees his humble home transformed into a royal palace, his family dressed in royal robes, the prasadam cooked in his home is the best on his return which only goes to prove we NEED NOT ASK OUR LORD ANYTHING FOR OUR PERSONAL GAINS JUST SURRENDER WITH TOTAL TRUST THAT HE IS THERE FOR US AND KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR US, AND ABOVE ALL WE CAN WHOLEHEARTEDLY MAKE A UNIVERSAL PRAYER AT EACH MOMENT FOR THE WELL BEING OF EACH AND EVERY ATOM PRESENT IN THE UNIVERSE FOR MIRACULOUS IS THE POWER OF PRAYERS AND WHEN WE SEEK OUR LORD SRI KRISHNA FOR HIS DIVINE BLESSINGS OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IT IS BUT EVIDENT THAT WE TOO ARE THE TINIEST SPECKLE OF HIS CREATION AND WE TOO ARE INCLUDED IN THE UNIVERSAL PRAYERS . THE WHOLE WORLD IN SANKSRIT IS MENTIONED AS  "VASUDEVA KUTUMBAKA" ( THE WHOLE WORLD IS ONE FAMILY), EACH OF US ARE  LINKED TO OUR DEAR LORD'S CREATIONS AND HENCE LET US JUST SEEK HIS BLESSINGS AND DANCE TO THE TUNES OF  HAPPINESS THAT OUR DEAREST LORD IS WITH US AT ALL TIMES AND WILL FOREVER RESCUE US FROM EVERY  HARM WITHOUT EVEN ASKING HIM FOR HIS SPEED IS FASTER THAN LIGHTENING , HE WILL REACH US UNASKED.
