Krishna - Illusion, Attraction, Eternal Love...

If we look around, we find thousands of things that attract us. Let it be a nice material object or a beautiful person. Attraction is a part of life & we come accross it more than once. The most importatnt thing to understand here is that this is an illusion. All these attractions are illusive.They say that if you feel that you are attracted towards something just let yourself know that it is Krishna playing mind games. He's the illusive, beautiful, attractive being. So if you're attracted towards something or someone, its not that being or that object you're attracted to. It is krishna that you're attracted to. If only you realise this, then life becomes simpler. All the illusions simply fade away. And you see the only truth - Krishna. Behind all the things that attract you, elude you and make you crave for them, chase them...its your eternal love with him that is working. So the key to stability is to realise your eternal love and surrender all your feelings to him. Then, every small attraction towards any material thing seems very minute in comparison to your eternal love...and when you spot your krishna, then he becomes yours and your love blossoms...

my meditation..


I sat down & closed my eyes. It was a nice, calm & clear evening. The wind too was still. And my mind was drifting away deeper n deeper into meditation. It was just a few minutes after I started that a vision started developing in front of my eyes...very vague at the begining but then it became very vivid-so much that I could almost feel myself being there. It was a small river. I was sitting on the bank of the river with my feet in the water. Looking at the horizon I just sat there for a while, thinking, when the sprinkles of water on my face brought me back to this end of the river. He was playing in the water, Krishna. He splashed water on my face one more time. He just kept looking at me with a smile on his face.
Before i could realise what was happening, the scene had already changed. Now I was sitting on the bank of the river, beneath a huge tree. Just sitting there I kept listening to the wind blow, the river flow and him playing his flute. I turned around to look at him, because somehow I knew that this was about to get over. The music was coming to an end and so was my meditation. I did not want it to stop, I just wanted it to go on and on forever. But he finally stopped. I was simply looking at him, trying to tell him how much i wanted to sit there forever. But i could not speak, all I could do was look at him. For a moment I expected him to know what I was thinking...and I think he did. he just smiled at me, and everything became vague again. The river, krishna...and i Opened my eyes with tears in them...
