taste of

Therefore in the advanced stage of devotional life a devotee does not see fire; he sees Krsna. A devotee does not see air, but he sees Krsna. A devotee does not see sky, but he sees Krsna. Sarvatra haya nija ista-deva-sphūrti [Cc Madhya 8.274]. Ista-deva. Krsna is the worshipable Deity of the devotee. So immediately he sees anything, because he knows it is Krsna's energy... Just like we, generally, as soon as we see in the morning light, we can understand there is sun. Immediately. There is no delay. "Now there is sun." The sun may not be visible immediately, but because the darkness is gone and there is light, although glimpse light, now we understand, "This is morning, and now there is sun." Similarly, a advanced devotee, because he knows everything is Krsna's energy... So this is energy study. Therefore in the Bhagavad-gita it is said, raso 'ham apsu kaunteya [Bg 7.8]: "Apsu, in the water, the taste I am." Because every one of us become thirsty and we take water. And actually it is so; the taste of water is Krsna. Otherwise who can give taste unless Krsna is there? Now take. There are big, vast water in front of Bombay. Now change the taste. Then there is no need of acquiring water from here and there, bringing big, big pipes. No. You take and change the taste, salty taste, and making drinkable. No. That you cannot unless Krsna does it. Therefore the taste is Krsna. It is not difficult to understand.    (More...)

So there is list of understanding Krsna. Don't say that "We have not seen God. Can you show me God?" Why don't you see? The God says, "I am here," but why don't you see? God says, "I am the taste of water." So when you drink water, why don't you see God in the taste? He is visible in every step. Every working of this nature, He is doing that. Simply we have to make our eyes to see. That is Krsna consciousness. Everything is there, present. Krsna, God, is present everywhere. Anḍantara-stha-paramanu-cayantara-stham [Bs 5.35]. Krsna is present here. Krsna is within your heart. Īsvaraḥ sarva-bhūtanam hrd-dese 'rjuna tisthati [Bg 18.61]. But when you learn the art to see Him within your heart, that is called mystic yoga. Dhyanavasthita-tad-gatena manasa pasyanti yam yoginaḥ [SB 12.13.1]. The yogic process is to see Krsna within the heart. That is real yoga. That is real yoga system. Try to see Krsna within the heart. Then you first-class yogi. That is the perfection of topmost yogic process.    (More...)
