Become Fully Absorbed in Seeing Kṛṣṇa’s Energy Everywhere HG Vaisesika Dasa 18 Apr 2026

I had a similar experience going on—being on saṅkīrtana and hearing music when I was a brahmacārī. And, I distinctly remember once I heard a song by Diana Ross, and it goes like this: "You are everything, and everything is you." I was going, "That’s Bhagavad-gītā." And the part where we connect it, and we’re able to see how Kṛṣṇa’s energies are working, and we say, "Oh, I see how that happened"—it’s very similar to what the gosvāmīs do when they mention this: they see boys and girls are spontaneously attracted to one another, and they say, "Yeah, that’s it. I want to be attracted like that to Kṛṣṇa." It’s all a reflection. So, if you’re seeing the connection in the reflection, then it becomes a Kṛṣṇa conscious observation, and that’s a result of our own observations. We talked about it during japa this morning, that when we’re chanting, we can be acutely aware—ubhayor api dṛṣṭo ’ntas(BG 2.16)—that there’s two things happening: there’s material nature, and then there’s consciousness. The two things are fascinating to watch and see the difference between the two, and then the rest of the world. As Nārada Muni, when he was a small child, after his mother passed away, he was left an orphan; and by that time, he had already had association with the sādhus. So he went out to observe the world, and he was seeing how all of Kṛṣṇa’s energies were working. Those kinds of observations Prabhupāda constantly made when he was on morning walks. He’d notice things. He’d say, 'This means this. This means that.' And, 'Oh, how interesting.' A bird sitting in a nest was leaving its remnants on the ground, and Prabhupāda asked what it meant. Devotees thought, 'What could it possibly mean?' It's passing and it’s going on the ground in one pile, and Prabhupāda said, 'It means he’s attached to that branch. Every living entity is attached to a particular place." In this way, Prabhupāda would see something. He saw a father pick up his son to place a letter in a mailbox, and then Prabhupāda made something out of that: like, this is how we work. We have a desire to do; Kṛṣṇa picks us up. We put all of our functions—the way we talk, the way we move... it’s all coming from Kṛṣṇa. In Hawaii, devotees asked Prabhupāda if it was māyā if they went to the beach—because that’s all there is in Hawaii, is beach. Prabhupāda answered. He said, "How could you be in māyā? Kṛṣṇa is the ocean. He’s the light of the sun and the moon. How could you possibly be in māyā there?" It’s a good question. So obviously we have to be careful, because unless we have a melted heart and we’re engaged in seeing the world and feeling such an intense connection to Kṛṣṇa through seeing everything that’s happening, then it’s possible to get caught on something as happened to Ajāmila. He was doing his sādhana, but he wasn’t strong enough. So when he saw a scene, it wasn’t like he could connect it. And certain things we should be very careful of looking at and not think, "Oh no, I can process that," but then it might process you—which is the problem in the material world. We’re really smart because we’re parts of Kṛṣṇa. So we invent television, for instance. I know it’s an old technology; I’ll get to the higher things in a second. But you know, what does it take to figure out how to build a television? It’s an amazing thing.
