Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 13.155
Kṛṣṇa Is Present Through Constant Absorption
“Our love affair is more powerful because of My good fortune in receiving Nārāyaṇa’s grace. This allows Me to come there unseen by others. I hope that very soon I will be visible to everyone.
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa has two kinds of presence: prakaṭa, or manifest, and aprakaṭa, or unmanifest.
- These two kinds of presence are identical for the sincere devotee.
- Even when Kṛṣṇa is not physically present, the devotee’s constant absorption in His affairs makes Him always present.
