Jivatma Paramatma Krishna Sudama
God is always pure and perfect, but only some of us are impure and imperfect, and we are blaming the god for our own troubles and turmoil! God’s purity cannot be measured in terms of quantity or quality and it also cannot be put it in words. Since god is so pure, he is able to create the entire universe within a fraction of seconds! God cannot be put under a particular place, since his powers are spread throughout the entire universe, and it can be better understood by reading a particular incident from the Mahabharata.
Once, Duryodana tried to put Lord Krishna under the prison, when Krishna went to his court for the purpose of holding peace talks with him. Krishna then took the Viswaroopa form in order to prove his supremacy. Even in the Vishnu Sahasranama Stotra, Lord Vishnu is mentioned as a righteous and praiseworthy god. Hence, the good qualities of the good must always be praised by us. Whenever we gossip about someone, we are talking loudly, whereas, during the time of performing Holy Bhajans, we are not raising our voice loudly. During the times of Divine Bhajans, we should raise our voice loudly, in order to make even the god to hear our sound from his divine world! The great Meerabai brought Krishna in front of her from the Vaikunta, by singing mesmerising songs in praise of him.
Children are always interested to play sports and to go for outing, whereas if their neighbours, or their relatives, ask them to accompany with them to the temples, then most of the youngsters would be disinterested to go along with them. Great Saints like Guru Raghavendra and Swamy Vivekananda have got the habit of visiting to the temples from their young age onwards, and that’s why they were able to find the purity and the perfectness of the almighty.
God has done so much goodness to us. We are able to lead a peaceful life only due to his mercy. In order to show our love and respect on him, we have to always talk about him with others, and must declare to them, that god is always pure and perfect. We have to act as the messengers of the god, and the very purpose of our birth itself is to exhibit his good qualities before others. Just by simply saying ‘Hello’ to the god is of no use, and it is like having our food only for one time in a day. Daily, daily we are filling up our belly, and for that, we have to definitely thank to the god, must share about divine matters with others, tell about the significance of Lord Krishna, and right from our birth till our death, we have to use our birth productively.
At this Kaliyuga, just spending a few minutes time before the pictures of the deities is not enough. We have to keep on thinking about propagating the values, purity, goodness, perfectness of the god amongst the people, and also if possible, we can distribute the copies of Bhagavat Gita and Bhagavatham to the people at an affordable rate, in order to make the people to get a better understanding about our mighty god Krishna.
