The Krishna Consciousness has nothing to do with the protagonist Krishna of Mahabharata. However, here the term Krishna is only a symbolic representation of utter divinity in the psyche of the Hindus. The Krishna Consciousness is basically, a mental state of transcendence, which can similarly be called as “the Christ Consciousness” or “the Buddha Consciousness” or even “the Naskar Consciousness”. Buddha hailed it as Nirvana, while Christ, upon experiencing it, said to his pupils, “I and the Father are one.” Upon emerging from this extraordinary state of Absolute Oneness, the Self turns into Krishna – it turns into Christ – it turns into Buddha.
Oneness is experienced when you are aware of this moment as yourself, then as the other object and then as the one universal self. You may sense that everything within close proximity and beyond becomes a deep conscious; spiritual occurrence.
Beyond culture, beyond tradition, beyond all dogmas and doctrines, there lies a beautiful valley full with real liberty and real harmony - in that valley, diversity is no cause for discrimination or hatred, rather it provides colors to the collective life of humanity as one family - in that valley, the best creed is to have no creed - the best path is to have no path - the best ideology is to have no ideology.
Are our lives like car-worn ruts In the face of the ground Created through habitual use And so set in place that they dictate An unalterable course of drudgery, Complaints, and same 'ol same 'ol, Which if bucked threatens our security? That is one long sentence, isn't it? You can change it.
Self is the source of all courage and self is the source of all weakness. Self is the source of all joy and self is the source of all sorrows. That very self can make this world a beautiful place and that very self can also make this world a miserable place. The only thing that distinguishes the one from the other, is your intention.
