How
can we know the Supreme Lord?
Supreme Lord
Sri Krishna mentions in Sreemad Bhagwad Geeta (7.7), 'There is nothing superior
to Me.'
With emphasis,
Sri Krishna says that He is the Supreme Lord. We read the Geeta, but we do not
believe the teachings of Supreme Lord Sri Krishna. Why is this? He also says in
the Geeta (9.24), 'I am the only Master and the only Enjoyer of all yajnas
(sacrifices). There are many verse in Sreemad Bhagwad Geeta substantiating
Sri Krishna as Supreme Lord. In the Geeta (10.8), He says, 'I am the cause of
all creation, the origin of all the things.' In verse (14.27), He says, 'I am
the cause of the impersonal formless God (Brahm).' That impersonal, formless
God is the halo of Sri Krishna's own light, emanating
from Sri Krishna Himself. And so on.
Sri Krishna is
the Supreme Lord. How can we know the Supreme Lord? Without His grace, no one
can know Him. If anybody says, 'Yes. I can know Him.' then he will be equal to
or greater than the Supreme Lord. But the Supreme Lord, Infinite and Absolute,
is One. Nothing can be outside the Infinite. If you say, 'This flower is
outside the Infinite,' then the Infinite becomes finite. Even particle of dust
cannot be outside the Infinite, or the Absolute will lose His position. The
Absolute is One. The only way to get Him is to take absolute shelter at His
Lotus Feet and to act according to His will. There is no other way to get Him
except by means of exclusive, pure devotion.
Therefore,
only those who have surrendered to Sri Krishna, who have access to the heart of
Sri Krishna, can understand the implication and significance of His teachings.
Those without knowledge of Sri Krishna, who have not submitted to Sri Krishna,
how can they know. They may write many commentaries, but they cannot comprehend
the actual significane of the teachings of Sri Krishna.
