Live the Bhāgavatam · SB 11.14.45
Mukti· LiberationSee Everything Within Kṛṣṇa
“One who has completely fixed his mind on Me should see Me within his own soul and should see the individual soul within Me, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Thus, he sees the individual souls united with the Supreme Soul, just as one sees the sun’s rays completely united with the sun.”
What the purport teaches
- With the mind completely fixed on Kṛṣṇa, one sees Him within the individual soul and the individual soul within Him. He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- The soul is part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, like rays emanating from the sun. Although the Lord and the living entity are within one another, the Lord alone is the maintainer and controller.
- Kṛṣṇa consciousness means finding Kṛṣṇa within everything and everything within Kṛṣṇa. The purport describes liberated life in this consciousness as deeply pleasurable.
Try this today
Take a quiet moment today to remember that you are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa and that He is your maintainer and controller.
Ask yourself
How does remembering Kṛṣṇa as my maintainer and controller change the way I see my place in His care?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
