Krsna's Teachings

When a child asks a question, does the mother get irritated? Not at all. Never. On the contrary, the mother feels more love for her child. Even if the child is irritable or cranky, she continues to address the issue with love.  Such is the case of the Guru. Every question is welcomed by Him and addressed in its own unique way. The answers are given using methods conventional or unconventional.  The book is opened to a particular page which has the answer. Or he voices it out. At other times the experience connected to it will happen.  Are there any answers which he cannot give? None whatsoever.  How does that happen, you may wonder? The normal human being has to stress on his memory and mind to search out the answer but for the true sage, the answers just pour out from the divine.  It's like every human being is not connected to the internet through the computer, so his knowledge is only that his hard drive carries. But the Guru is only like a net book, connecte...

Have you heard the story of the ugly duckling? So what happened afterwards, is it worth listening to?  The eggs hatch and give off beautiful birds but this one particular bird looks like an ugly duckling. Everyone makes fun of him and derides him.  Then one day a group of beautiful swans come there. They welcome him. He wonders why and looks at his own reflection in the water and finds out that he is no longer the ugly duckling. He has grown into a very beautiful swan. He flies away with them!  Hans Christian Andersen wrote the above story. His story ended above but the duckling which turned into a swan and rose high in the air, could never believe itself that he was indeed a swan.  As his usual habit, he waddled and quacked. Made so much noise and disturbed the flock. His eating or flying habits to every other one resembled that of a duck.  He never could get further than thinking of himself as a superior species. He wanted to return back to the land.  So ...

When you take two fruits, say jackfruit and mango,can you tell the difference between them? You will say, yes, I can! Both are different. Then you will try describing them to me. Making a case for both and feeling triumphant about your knowledge.  Yet, you haven't understood the truth. 99% of both the fruits have the same characteristics. But what you gave me was the difference between them. Both are fruits. Both come from plant kingdom. Both are yellow in color. Both have sweetness and fruit sugars filled in them. The 1% difference is only in taste and that too you can only tell me the difference if you are actually tasting it.  So when we see people in this world, though everyone is made up of the same stuff, we still see the difference more than anything. We assess all of them with that 1% difference we see in them. Even if that person hasn't opened his mouth and said something, we have created an opinion about him. Just like someone who looks at the outer covering of the j...

Why, God, Why? When was it that your questions got some answers? Too many unanswered questions!  How many of you face failures every single day? You guess almost all. Yet, you all hope and pray that you will get it right. But destiny always ditches you at the last minute. God, if there is one, you say, always plays hokey with you. Never allowing you to win ever.  So then where is the question of belief in the invisible? Someone you haven't seen or heard at all? Why do you need to give so much of importance to that someone or something when things don't go right? It is beyond logical thinking, why people have so much of dependency over this unknown one?  You can see your parents, so you depend on them for any help during childhood. As you grow up, your teacher or friends work alongside. Later, your spouse is the prop and colleagues. The bosses and workplace mentors help you. For other assistances you seek for professional guidance. Your health or wealth is monitored by the...

We all love playing the blame game. How many of us actually take responsibility about our own issues and stop blaming the other? Hardly anyone with the right sense will do that, you say?  When the bottle breaks, you ask the wife why she couldn't keep it in the middle of the table safely instead of keeping it near your hand? When the car refuses to start, you love to blame her for messing up with it the last time she took it out. You say that the car should never be given to those who cannot use it properly.  The child gets less marks at school and it's the other parents fault all because he was too busy at work and had no time to make the child study!  When she gets pregnant, it's her fault for not stopping you or counting days, but it is never about you wearing a condom? When the expense books are not tallying at the end of the month, it's all because your mother had come to stay and she wastes so much food and has no regards for money being spent!  Sometimes the si...

We all suffer pain right from the time we took birth. There isn't a single person who hasn't lived in pain. It may be physical or mental, intense or mild, accompanied by hurt, yet we all suffer.  So when we say that we experience pain, what actually happens and where? When does it begin? We are so much used to getting hurt and feeling pain right from before we are born.  Living in a tiny hovel, suspended upside down, gurgling in the waters, forcibly being prodded and poked around in our home called the womb, we have suffered so many atrocities that we seem to care less therein. But the moment we are out of the mothers womb, we yell our head off in pain and distress! So, as you now will agree, we are enjoyers of physical and mental pain even before we are squeezed out of our mothers womb.  Human beings are accustomed to torture by submission even when they are small. Imagine the breasts being shoved inside your little mouths, gooey stuff poured down your throat as baby foo...

How does the trend begin?  He had five pairs of shoes.  He wore one pair per day to work.  He was always immaculately dressed. A matching top and bottom too.  One day, there was some commotion in his life.  He accidentally wore two wrong shoes. The right foot didn't match the left one.  When it was pointed out by his colleague, he was very embarrassed.  Later, the same person came and told him that it looks cool. No one felt anything wrong with it. They all appreciated it genuinely.  The next day he decided that he would do such mix and match with his other pairs too.  So the new trend started.  Now everyone wears two different color or pairs in their two feet.  This universe has weird ways of telling you things. We have to listen to what the universe says.  There are hidden truths which with our little intellect, we can never understand.  Give universe a chance to help us learn about the future. Don't close doors to newer...
