Let Krsna Clean Our Hearts

[Shafu]

!!Hare Krsna!!
!!All Glories to Chatinya Mahaprabhu!!
!!All Glories to Gaura Nitai!!
!!All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Just a try to explain Krsna’s Miracles.

Morning Time:
Cleaner : !!Hare Krsna!!
Shopkeeper : !!Hare Krsna!! How come you are so early today ?
Cleaner : I thought of doing my job as soon as possible so came early to clean your shop.
Shopkeeper : I think I am busy doing my breakfast now. Can you come bit late ?
Cleaner : Oh Ok I will come late.

After half an hour
Cleaner : Prabhuji , Can I clean now ?
Shopkeeper : Nope . I am still doing so many things and customers are still coming to my shop. So It’s not possible by this time.
Cleaner : Oh Ok. I will come late.

After One hour :
Shopkeeper : Oh My God , I am so sorry – But Still I can’t let you clean my shop.
Cleaner : But seems – right now you don’t have work.
Shopkeeper : yeah – but I am Planning and counting my money. So I don’;t need any kind of disturbance.
Cleaner : Oh Ok.

This time Cleaner looked very said But still he was patient and he came back after 3 hours for me.
After Three hours :
Shopkeeper : Oh Ah. Good . This time you are on right time. But I feel like doing rest so Please come some other day.
Cleaner : Prabhuji – sure I will do that.

And He keep on coming and coming…and Shopkeeper keep on denying and denying Finally Shopkeeper closed the door and went away.

Let me try to explain :
It is said in Srimad Bhagvatam that Krsna’s name is not different from him. But there is one difference that I can tell is Krsna’s Name is more merciful.

Krsna comes in form of his holy name and tries to clean our sins.We just have to get out of the way and let the Lord do his work of sweeping. Unfortunately, we often prevent the Lord's sweeping by being inattentive in chanting, or committing offenses and sinful activities.
In effect the Lord is saying,
"Can I sweep now?" and we say,
"Not now, maybe later. This time I am very much busy in gratifying senses "
"Can I sweep now?"
"No No – This time I am so much indulged into material Desires, perhaps tomorrow."
And Krsna patiently waits for an opportunity to sweep again to helps us realize our self and the love we yearn for.
Let us not be like the elephant who bathes very carefully, and then comes out of a pond and throws dust all over itself. Let us allow Krsna to sweep our heart clean of all impurities and false conceptions, by learning to chant the holy name of Krsna purely. Then Krsna will always be with us, and our search for the true love of our heart and soul will be over!
!!Hare Krsna Hare Krsna - Krsna Krsna Hare Hare!!
!!Hare Rama Hare Rama - Rama Rama Hare Hare!!
Regards

There was an Indian poet, a very young boy, he was so talented. He could write poetry and everybody was impressed.

As a matter of fact, the Indian government sent him to Italy for a poet program where poets from all over the world meet. And he won a price there; he was recognized as an international poet. And he was just a young boy, not even 20 years old. The only one who criticized him was his father. His father was always saying: "You are useless. You are just puffed up, you will get nowhere and like this he was always smashing him. “.So his son was developing a very great anger against the father, because everybody was glorifying him and father was smashing, smashing, and smashing.

Then he decided: "I will kill my father.” Then one day in the night he took one knife and he went and he was hiding in the closet of the father room. And father and mother they come in the room and they lay down on the bed. And the mother says to the father: "Look at the full moon, it is so beautiful." Then the father says: "If I think of the beautiful face of my son then the moon looks to me like nothing." then the mother said: "Yes, but you are always smashing him, you are always criticizing him", "Oh, yes I do that just that he don't become proud and useless, I just do that to save him". And the son inside the closet: "Ohhh, I was going to kill my well-wisher" He comes out and falls at the feet of his father and he is crying and crying and crying.


So we have to be very careful, Krsna loves us, even if he sends some criticism, some difficulty to our life. Don’t go around the world looking just for: "Who will glorify me, who will give me some honor". Because you have to learn, you have to become purified, you have to develop love for Krsna and that’s not a cheap thing. You cannot have love for your false ego simultaneously and love for Krsna.


So by the kindness of Sri Krsna, He is making sure we get the message we need to get.

A Devdoot went to ask people in Material world whether they want to go back to Krsna’s Abode – Goloka Vrindavana. So conversation is here following.

Devdoot : Dear Housewife , Would you like to go back to Krsna’s Abode – Goloka Vrindavana – Which is blessed with Krsna’s Existence , Spiritual Bodies , No Miseries like material world , No Responsibilities. Only Krsna and His Friends ?

Housewife: Come on , who will give lunch to my kids then. My Husband will be coming soon. He will not bear that I will go with someone.

Devdoot: Dear Housewife, See U will forget all such tensions in Goloka Vrindavana, U will be free from everything.

Housewife : You know what Sir , Here my colleting every single penny – we have made this house and now We are taking good care of our kids and We are happy here. If you really want to make me free , Then Please take my Mother in Law with you and never send her back and One more thing Do u have any servant who can work on my behalf.

Devdoot : come on. I don't have any servant. Can I talk to Ur Mother in Law?

Housewife : yeah sure. She is sitting there.
(She pointed out to her MIL)

Her Mother in law was so old and was sitting on a chair in sun light near window was watching outside of the window.

Devdoot : Dear Mother in Law , seems you are very old and tired. Would you like to go back to abode of Goloka Vrindavana – Krsna’s Abode?


Mother-In-Law : Who the hell are you to remove me from my house. See This is My House. I will stay here till my end. and listen , Is in Ur Goloka Vrindavana , Is there TV to see Ekta Kapoor's "Kyun ki Saas bhi Kabhi Bahu thi ""?

And I think this is planning of my daughter in law. Listen u, get lost from here. Now I am looking at neighbor’s window. Mother-in-Law is beating her Daughter in law. Wonderful. Hey you Mr. Devdoot Get lost now.

Devdoot was speechless.

Devdoot decided to check with neighbor’s daughter in law.

Devdoot : Dear Madam. If you are tired by this beating then would you like to go back to Krsna’s Abode – Goloka Vrindavana – which is so wonderful – No miseries like this Material World??


Neighbor’s daughter in law : Why should I leave this house. I would not.

See Today My Mother in Law is heavy on me. Tomorrow I will. I will stay here to take revenge. Now you can go and don't disturb me anymore.

Devdoot decided to talk to some Businessman.

Devdoot : Sir , I have heard that In Business , there are lot of tension , would you like to go back to tension free Krsna’s Abode – Goloka Vrindavana .

Businessman : Come on , I have a meeting and then I have to plan for my next product. I wonder who let you come in without appointment. Please go and have a appointment before coming to me.

Now Devdoot finally decided to talk to Kids.

Devdoot : Dear Kids , would you like go back to Krsna’s World – Goloka Vrindavana- Full of cows , Milk rivers , Spiritual Birds and Krsna himself resides?

Kids : Oh , will Krsna play with us and give us so many toys ??

Devdoot : off course Yes . Krishna Loves the kids most and will definitely love to play with you.


Kids : Will he do our Homework ?

Devdoot : In Goloka Vrindavana you don't need to do any homework.

Kids : Will he Give us Chocolates ?

Devdoot : Yeah sure , U can have many candies and chocolates and every thing for eating.

Kids :Will he help us to get holiday from school ?

Devdoot : U don't need to go to school in God's world.

Kids : That's wonderful. Let us ask our mums.

Kids went to their mothers and Mothers told them not to talk with Strangers and called police to catch Devdoot.

Finally Devdoot decided to come back to Krishna and said, Krishna I am so sorry. No one is realizing you and your world. All are so much involved in materialism. I am so sorry. No one wants to come back to you.

Krishna was bit tensed because Krishna wanted all of us to go back to Krishna's world "Goloka Vrindavana ". But we are so much engaged in this materialism that don't have time to even think about Krishna. See because of these material tension , we should never stop our own way to Goloka Vrindavana.

The biggest misery of this material world is – Every one thinks that they are Do-er and they are enjoying But fools like me don’t know that We are being enjoyed by Krsna and created by Him only. And we treat this temporary house as permanent residence. And we ourselves don’t want to have happiness and keep denying opprtunity for Goloka Vrindavana.

(Two farmers, with turbans, walk on the stage, talking to each other.)

Farmer1: We are farmers and our whole income depends on the crop season. If we get good rains we will get a very good crop.

Farmer2: But if this year also like the last year rains do not come then all our crops will be destroyed.

Farmer1: Only Krsna can help us.

Farmer2: Yes, we should pray to Krsna . He will surely listen to our prayers.

(Both farmers exit praying with folded hands, looking up towards the ceiling).

"Oh, Krsna! Please give us sufficient rains. So that we can have a nice crop in this season. We are very poor and without rains we will not have enough money to feed our families. Please help us.”

(Both the farmers start talking to each other)

Farmer1: I am sure the Krsna will listen to our prayers.

Farmer2: Yes, this season by Krsna ’s grace we will have good rains then all our problems will be solved.

(Two potters walk on the stage talking to each other)

Potter1: We are potters and our whole income depends on how nicely our pots are made so that we can get a good price for our pots in the market.

Potter2: But for that we require good sunshine for our pots to dry nicely.
Potter1: Yes! What if it starts raining ?

Potter2: Oh! then there will be a great disaster because if our pots do not get dried now then the market season will go and later on nobody will buy our pots.

Potter1: Our only hope is to pray to Krsna , I am sure He will help us.

Potter2: Yes! We must pray to Krsna to give us good sunshine.

(Both potters start praying to Krsna with folded hands looking at the ceiling)

"Oh, Krsna! Please give us good sunshine. Please do not sanction rainfall. If rain comes our pots will not get dry and we will not have any money to feed our families."

(Both potters walked out talking to each other.)

Potter1: Krsna will surely listen to our prayers and we will have good sunshine this time.

Potter2: Yes, Krsna is our father he will surely listen to our prayers.
(Krsna and one sage enter the stage)

Sage:- Oh, Krsna! I am very perplexed, by hearing the prayers of your devotees. What are you going to do now ? Some of your devotees are asking for sunshine and others are asking for rains. How are you going to answer their prayers ?

Krsna :- O great sage ! It is not very difficult to comprehend. As you have told, all my children in this material world have various contradictory desires. Sometimes, like in this case if I give rains, the farmers will be happy, but the potters will suffer and if I give good sunshine, the potters will be happy and the farmers will suffer. To take care of this problem I have created the 'Law of Karma' which rewards the good or bad results according to each persons past activities. If they have done good deeds in the past, they deserve good results. If they have done bad deeds they deserve bad results. According to Law of Karma every action has an equal and opposite reaction - “As you sow so shall you reap.”

There is a story of Narada Muni, who was once asked by a brahmana: "Oh, you are going to meet the Supreme Lord? Will you please ask Him when I'm going to get my salvation?"

"All right," Narada agreed. "I shall ask Him."

As Narada proceeded, he met a cobbler who was sitting under a tree mending shoes, and the cobbler similarly asked Narada, "Oh, you are going to see God? Will you please inquire of Him when my salvation will come?"

When Narada Muni went to the Vaikuntha planets, he fulfilled their request and asked Krsna (God) about the salvation of the brahmana and the cobbler, and Krsna replied, "After leaving this body, the cobbler shall come here to me."

"What about the brahmana?" Narada asked.

"He will have to remain there for a number of births. I do not know when he is coming."
Narada Muni was astonished, and he finally said, "I can't understand the mystery of this."

"That you will see," Krsna said. "When they ask you what I am doing in My abode, tell them that I am threading the eye of a needle with an elephant."

When Narada returned to earth and approached the brahmana, the brahmana said, "Oh, you have seen the Lord? What was He doing?"

"He was threading an elephant through the eye of a needle," Narada answered.

"I don't believe such nonsense," the brahmana replied. Narada could immediately understand that the man had no faith and that he was simply a reader of books.

Narada then left and went on to the cobbler, who asked him, "Oh, you have seen the Lord? Tell me, what was He doing?"

"He was threading an elephant through the eye of a needle," Narada replied.

The cobbler began to weep, "Oh, my Lord is so wonderful, He can do anything."

"Do you really believe that the Lord can push an elephant through the hole of a needle?" Narada asked.

"Why not?" the cobbler said, "Of course I believe it."

"How is that?"

"You can see that I am sitting under this banyan tree," the cobbler answered, "and you can see that so many fruits are falling daily, and in each seed and in each seed there is a banyan tree like this one. If, within a small seed there can be a big tree like this, is it difficult to accept that the Lord is pushing an elephant through the eye of a needle?"

So this is called faith. It is not a question of blindly believing. There is reason behind the belief. If Krsna can put a large tree within so many little seeds, is it so astounding that He is keeping all the planetary systems floating in space through His energy?

Although scientists may think that the planets are being held in space simply by nature alone, behind nature there is the Supreme Lord. Nature is acting under His guidance. As Sri Krsna states:


mayadhyaksena prakrtih
suyate sa-caracaram
hetunanena kaunteya
jagad viparivartate

"This material nature is working under My direction, O son of Kunti, and is producing all moving and unmoving beings. By its rule this manifestation is being created and annihilated again and again." (Bg. 9.10)

Mayadhyaksena means "under My supervision." Material nature cannot act so wonderfully unless the Lord's hand is behind it. We cannot give any example of material things automatically working. Matter is inert, and without the spiritual touch there is no possibility of its acting. Matter cannot act independently or automatically. Machines may be very wonderfully constructed, but unless a man touches that machine, it cannot work. And what is that man? He is a spiritual spark. Without spiritual touch, nothing can move; therefore everything is resting on Krsna's impersonal energy. Krsna's energy is impersonal, but He is a person. We often hear of persons performing wonderful actions, yet despite their energetic accomplishments, they still remain persons. If this is possible for human beings, why isn't it possible for the Supreme Lord? We are all persons, but we are all dependent upon Krsna, the Supreme Person.

We have often seen pictures of Atlas, a stout man bearing a large planet on his shoulders and struggling very hard to hold it up. We may think that because Krsna is maintaining the universe, He is struggling under its burden like Atlas. But this is not the case.

Kid : Mumma , Please give me few sweets.

Mumma : No I won’t give . You have already taken many sweets.

Kid : Then who else can give me.

Mumma : The supreme Lord Krishna an give everything. Ask him.

Now Kid came to know about Krishna and decided to meet Krishna and then after reading directions and Instructions in the official Map "Bhagvad Gita AS IT IS ", He invited (chanted holy Name of Krishna a lot) Krishna and then Krishna himself came to meet him and Here is the conversation :

Krishna : Dear Kid , Open you eyes , I am very happy with you.

Kid : Oh Dear Krishna , I am so blessed that you came to meet me. I am very happy. I don't know what to do , But tears are coming out of my eyes. I don't have words Krishna My Dear Krishna Oh Krishna , I am not an intelligent person , but still you came to me ,I don't know the rituals that what should I do now, But Just wanted to say, I want to keep you in my eyes , in my heart and in my soul and don't want to be separate from you at any cost. Krishna O My Krishna , O My Lord. Oh Bal Gopala , Oh Madahav , Oh My Nand Lala , I can feel an extremely strong bound of your love around me and can feel affection for you.

Kid was so happy that he was not able to say anything properly. He was just crying and looking at Krishna with love and affection. Krishna understood his feelings.

Krishna smiled.

Krishna : I know how much Happy you are. I can understand your feeling. Tell me what you want. I came with lot of sweets. How much you want.

Kid : Oh My Dear Lord Krishna , First I want to wash your lotus feet.

Krishna : Ok you can do .

Kid washed Krishna's feet with huge love and kept the transdental water which flowed on Krsna’s Lotus feet in a Jug to drink. He got his own new baby oil to massage on Krishna's feet and then offered many toys to him.

Kid : I offer all my toys to you.

Krishna smiled like anything to see his love and took all his toys.

Kid : Please take all my color books as my offering.

Krishna accepted his color books.

Kid : Krishna , Please take my Fruit Rabri and all lollys and all savings in my piggy bank .
Kid picked everything from his room and offered to Krishna.

Krishna: Now tell me what you want ?

Kid : Krishna , I don't want anything.

Krishna: But you called me for sweets . Right??

Kid : Yes Dear Bal Gopala , My Dear loveable Krishna , But after looking at you I don't want anything.

Krishna: Come on , You can tell me what you want. Do you want sweets?? Do you want to be a Big Boy like you Dad?

Kid : No Dear Govind, I don't want anything.

Krishna: Ok . Then do you want me to go.

Kid : No No Krishna , Please don't go . Please stay with me forever.

Krishna : Sure. I would love to stay with my little devotees like you. But are you sure that you don't want anything else.

Kid : Krishna , I don't want anything except you.

Krishna : I am so happy with u. I am there within your heart without any curtain of materialism and un-intelligence.

Suddenly Kid saw that his room was full of toys , sweets , and His piggy bank was full with coins. His Fruit rabri was more than that he offered . he was so surprised.

He went to his mother and asked

Kid : Mumma , I did not demand anything from Krishna , But he gave me everything.

Mumma : Dear Baby , Your hands are very small and if you take the sweets or toys from your hands then you can only take few but now you see when Krishna gives with his big hands, how many more sweets and toys you got.

Comment
When Krishna is with you , Materialism and Problems does not come to you.
When we take, we may get little but when Krishna gives, he gives us more than our expectations more than what we can hold!!!! Seems like going to the owner of whole universe and demanding just a CAR , a JOB , a GIRL for marriage , a GOOD RESULT in EXAM. which are temporary.

And If you offer something to Krishna, It won’t be decreased, It will be increased like anything.

One day a 6 year old girl (daughter of Devotee) was sitting in a classroom. The Teacher was going to explain evolution to the children. The Teacher asked a little boy

Teacher:: Dear Kid ,do you see the tree outside?
Kid : Yes.
Teacher:: Dear Kid, do you see the grass outside?
Kid : Yes.
Teacher:: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
Kid : Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
Teacher:: Did you see God?
Kid : No.
Teacher:: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there. He doesn't exist.


A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. The Teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy:

Little Girl: Dear Friend, do you see the tree outside?
Kid : Yes.
Little Girl:: Dear Friend do you see the grass outside?
Kid : Yessssss (getting tired of the questions by this time).
Little Girl: Did you see the sky?
Kid : Yessssss
Little Girl: Dear Friend, do you see the Teacher ?
Kid : Yes.
Little Girl: Do you see her brain?
Kid : No
Little Girl: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she must not have one! So If she does not have any brain , she is not capable of teaching us so Please don’t believe her.

"Krishna's Devotees can feel his existence in their life. Walk by faith not by sight".
and How can so sinful people like us expect to see Bal GOPALA with mundane eyes ??

We are so sinful so that’s why we are separated from Krishna and send in this Ghor Kaliyuga .
Can’t you feel Existence of Krishna in your Life. ??
