Krishna, God, is present everywhere

Prabhupada, Bombay, January 15, 1975: ..Similarly, an advanced devotee, because he knows everything is Krishna’s energy… So this is energy study. Therefore in the Bhagavad-gita it is said, raso ’ham apsu kaunteya: “Apsu, in the water, the taste I am,” because every one of us becomes thirsty and we take water. And actually it is so; the taste of water is Krishna. Otherwise who can give taste unless Krishna 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 Krishna does it. Therefore the taste is Krishna. It is not difficult to understand.

So if we study in this way, analytically, everything, Krishna’s energy… Sasi-suryayoh. Prabhasmi sasi-suryayoh. Krishna says, “I am the illumination of the sun and the moon.” So you can create by… Scientists, they say the sun is combination of so many chemicals.

Now you create one sun and illuminate the whole universe. That you cannot do because that is Krishna. You cannot create Krishna. You cannot imagine Krishna. That is not possible. Foolish persons, they may say, “Krishna is my imagination.” No, He’s not imagination. He’s fact. Simply one has to know how Krishna is present in everything. That is described in the Bhagavad-gita.

So there is list of understanding Krishna. 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 Krishna consciousness. Everything is there, present. Krishna, God, is present everywhere.

Andantara-stha-paramanu-cayantara-stham. Krishna is present here. Krishna is within your heart. Isvarah sarva-bhutanam 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 yoginah [SB 12.13.1].
