Did You See Him?

Krsnaji teaches that God is always with me.

At the point when I could say that my life was fulfilled and that there was nothing more to claim, God unlocked me. The fracturing of my shroud opened me to a path of inquiry. Not long after, and by His grace, my KrsnaGuru appeared. I have entered the Gurukul because He has blessed me so. His is not only a physical place, but it is also here and everywhere. He exists beyond all worldly constraints.

This limited body does not allow me to literally sit at Krsnaji’s feet and receive His daily tutelage. Instead, my frequent queries to Guruji occur in my mind throughout the day. As I reflect on His teachings, His answers come me. When understanding escapes me, there is a volley of text messages or the subject is taken up in our one-on-one —whereby, Guruji relieves me of my confusion. Always the loving Father, He guides me, encourages me and corrects me.

The elements of creation which embody this spirit soul, and this very spirit soul itself, are His alone. In The Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krsna said, “Man does not attain freedom from inaction without entering upon action” (Ch3, v4). Guruji instructs, me to experience the journey, to find His purpose for this life and to perform the work He wills me to do.

Knowledge is slowly unfolding in stages along this journey, but what do I truly know? In this very moment, God loves me! He cares for me! He teaches me! He accepts the humble offerings of my heart. Sri Krsna said, “Whosoever offers Me with love a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, I, appear in person before that selfless devotee…” (BG Ch9, v26). Did I see Him? He incarnates as the Guru, no doubt, I have been blessed to have darshan of Him.

My eternity is with Him! When the elements that form this the body fade, my spirit soul continues with Him. When He comes again, and if He wills it, I shall come too.
