TRANSLATION For one who
sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, I am never lost, nor is he
ever lost to Me.
PURPORT A person in
Krsna consciousness certainly sees Lord Krsna everywhere, and he sees everything
in Krsna. Such a person may appear to see all separate manifestations of
the material nature, but in each and every instance he is conscious of
Krsna, knowing that everything is the manifestation of Krsna's energy.
Nothing can exist without Krsna, and Krsna is the Lord of everything--this
is the basic principle of Krsna consciousness. Krsna consciousness is the
development of love of Krsna--a position transcendental even to material
liberation. It is the stage beyond self-realization at which the devotee
becomes one with Krsna in the sense that Krsna becomes everything for the
devotee and the devotee becomes full in loving Krsna. An intimate relationship
between the Lord and the devotee then exists. In that stage, the living
entity attains his immortality. Nor is the Personality of Godhead ever
out of the sight of the devotee. To merge in Krsna is spiritual annihilation.
A devotee takes no such risk. It is stated in the Brahma-samhita:
premanjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena
"I worship the
primeval Lord, Govinda, who is always seen by the devotee whose eyes are
anointed with the pulp of love. He is seen in His eternal form of Syamasundara
situated within the heart of the devotee." (Bs. 5.38)
At this
stage, Lord Krsna never disappears from the sight of the devotee, nor does
the devotee ever lose sight of the Lord. In the case of a yogi who
sees the Lord as Paramatma within the heart, the same applies. Such a yogi
turns into a pure devotee and cannot bear to live for a moment without
seeing the Lord within himself.
