residents automatically Krishna conscious
|
Dear friends, all these inhabitants of Vrajabhūmi-including birds, beasts, and trees-are glorified when they see Lord Kṛṣṇa going to the pasturing ground with His friends and Balarāma. " 'This land Vrndavana [Vrajabhūmi] is glorified today. Your lotus feet have touched the earth and grass. Your fingers have touched the trees and creepers, and Your merciful eyes have glanced upon rivers, hills, birds and beasts. The gopis have been embraced by Your arms, and even the goddess of fortune desires this. Now all of these are glorified.'
(More...) Imported quote 18668 The example is given here: yatha apam prakrtiḥ para. Just like the water, rains, fall from the sky. If you do not allow to touch the water the ground, you take it in the middle, you will find crystal, distilled water. You will find. And as soon as it comes down on the ground, it becomes muddy, the purity lost. Muddy, opaque; you cannot see, agitated. Similarly, our original consciousness is Krsna consciousness. That is svaccha, svacchatvam avikaritvam. In the original consciousness we do not know anything else than Krsna. Avikaritvam. There is no change. Therefore in the Vaikuntha planets, especially in the Goloka Vrndavana planet, that is exhibited. When Krsna comes to show His dhama-goloka-namni nija-dhamni-that is His own abode. So Krsna, when Krsna comes, He brings everything with Him: His dhama, His qualities, His place, His paraphernalia, His associates, His father, His mother, His friend, His consort, His trees, His water-everything He brings. That is Vrndavana. You will find in Vrndavana still-still you will find-people are all automatically Krsna conscious. Eighty-four, caurasi-kos, about 160 miles' area. So they are Krsna conscious naturally. And if you go to Vrndavana, this area, wherever you go, you will feel Krsna consciousness. So the example of purity is still there. And what to speak of in the original Vrndavana?
