God is omnipresent, yet why have we not found Him so far?

The following question was asked by a devotee and answered by Jagadaguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj Himself.

God is omnipresent, yet why have we not found Him so far?

You did not desire for Him. There are several levels of desiring. You may desire something so much that you are unable to survive without it; without it a moment may feel like a yug. This stage will come when you are totally and perfectly surrendered to God. Our mind is full of worldly attachments – “this is mine, that is mine.” In place of these worldly attachments, one should fully dedicate himself to the lotus feet of God.

Look at God’s Grace! Out of His compassion He gave you this human form, He gave you inquisitiveness to know about God, He arranged for you to meet a Divine Saint. Our heart should melt if we sincerely feel how much God has Graced us.

Mind alone is the reason for mayic bondage and liberation. Mind is attached in the world; it has to be attached to God. This is true devotion.

By your own effort, you can only purify your heart. Guru alone will bless you with the Divine Bliss of God. Loving remembrance of leelas of God are to delight in His Bliss and not for intellectual entertainment. Utilize your intellect in worldly matters. When you will fully comprehend and embrace the fact that the world is mayic and you (soul) are spiritual, you are a part of God, therefore, God alone belongs to you (soul) and your body belongs to this world, then you will turn towards God.

While humbly accepting that you are a fallen soul, afflicted by mayic defilements, with tears of love and repentance, beg God for His selfless love. Do not ask for worldly things from God. Then, God will reveal His Divine form to you through a Divine Saint.

Kanha To Pai Kaun Duhave Gaiya?

Kaun duhave gaiya, Kanha topai kaun duhave gaiya? ( Oh Kanhaiya! Who is going to have You milk their cow?) Thakurji (little Krishna) used to go to the house of  Gopis .  This was a daily routine and He used to beg and plead,  “O  Gopi ! Have Me milk your cow. I will milk your cow.  You don’t need to work so hard.”  All the  Gopis  had a meeting and they all decided that they should tease Lala (little Krishna).  So, today when Thakurji went and said, “Have Me milk your cow,”  all the  Gopis refused.  “I don’t need Your help to milk my cow.  I will do it myself.” Kanhaiya was taken by surprise as to what could have happened?  The  Gopis  said, “Listen to the reasons.” Karo rang aru kari kamariya, bidak jayagi gaiya . (Seeing Your dark complexion and Your black blanket, the cow will jump back.) The color of Your body is black and You wear a black blanket; (seeing that,) the cow will jump back, will be scared and therefore, will not give milk.  The second reason is, Man ka

Worshiping Radha Krishna

Ishton men Radha Krishna Govinda Radhey, Bhavon men madhurya shreshta bata dey. (Synopsis of a talk given by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj on January 17, 2011, in Bhakti Dham, Manghar, India, explaining this new kirtan verse.) The one who is worshiped (ishta) or the one who is served (sevya) is of many kinds. Some are even mayic or material, such as celestial gods and goddesses. These include Indra, Varuna, Kuber and others. Such ishtas are millions in number. By acquiring spiritual understanding through the teachings of a true Saint, we come to know that the worship of a material personality results in a material consequence. The word deva applies to both celestial beings and to supreme God. Kah paramo devah. Krishno ha vai paramam daivatam. This verse asks: Who is the greatest deva? Here the word deva refers to supreme God. Similarly, the word divya (divine) refers to both material celestial beings and also to God. The word atma (soul) refers to both the individual soul and God.
