Krsna Becomes Worried

Srila Gurudeva: In lakhs and lakhs worlds, all living entities are part and parcel of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krsna. We have forgotten Krsna for so many births. Krsna becomes worried that, “My eternal servants are suffering so much in this world again and again. They are taking birth not only in the human form of life, but also as pigs, hogs, dogs, creepers, and plants. Also sometimes as demigods and sometimes human. They are always searching for happiness and peace of mind, but they are not attaining that. I want that they should come and serve Me and be eternally happy. But they don’t give Me a chance so I can take them to Goloka Vrndavana.”

He always worried for us. Out of His mercy, His unconditional mercy, He sometimes gives us a human form, which is very beautiful. He also gives us some intelligence. Sometimes He sends His associates to this world. Sometimes He sends His incarnations to this world like Ramacandra or Nrsimha. Sometimes He sends His vibhuti, like Jesus Christ, like Buddha, and others. Sometimes He sends His associates like Narada, Vyasa, Sukadeva Gosvami and others. Through them he gives His mercy that, “You should tell them that they have forgotten Me and that really they are not this material body.”

If you want eternal bliss and eternal happiness, you should associate with any bona fide Vaisnava and Guru. Krsna will arrange for this. You cannot do anything for this. Krsna arranges all these things. He sends them to this world and to crores and crores worlds. He sends so many incarnations, so many associates. Sometimes He comes in the form of golden Sacinandana Gaurahari with Raya Ramananda, Svarupa Damodara, and Rupa-Sanatana, and preaches throughout this whole world. Whether you are qualified or not He sprinkles His mercy.

But like Jagai and Madhai, we don’t want His mercy. Sometimes we become opposite to devotees and think, “Oh, he is our enemy because he is disturbing our eating, drinking, and being merry.”
