what is God?
|
Imported quote 17540 So you can call the Supreme Lord "Krsna" or something else. Just like Muhammadans, they say "Allah." Allah means "the Supreme Being." Allahu akbar. And the Christian says, "God is great," and we say, param brahma param dhama [Bg 10.12], or "Krsna, all-attractive." But the aim is to understand Krsna. That Krsna personally appears so that your misgivings, misunderstanding, may be mitigated immediately-"Here I am." The Krsna consciousness movement is for this purpose, that "You religionist, you philosophers, you scientist, you speculators, you are all..., theosophists, so many, you are searching after God, and here is God, Krsna." But they are so unfortunate, they'll not accept it. "No, why shall I accept Krsna as God?" Then why you shall not? That is our question. If you do not accept Krsna as God, then you must know what is God. That, if I ask him, "Do you know what is God?" "That I do not know."
(More...) Imported quote 19309 He is giving his blessing that "This form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, may always remain within your..., in the core of your heart." If we simply keep Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu within our heart, then it will be very easy to understand what is Krsna, because if you understand Krsna, then your life is successful. Janma karma ca divyam me yo janati tattvataḥ [Bg 4.9].
