Lord Krishna’s Teachings
   
 
 


Lord Krishna says:  “Why do you worry of mortal being! Lord Krishna will do whatever he wishes?” The Vaishnavs say, “Lord Krishna can say that, but how can we run our business without worrying? Surely one has to worry about the business!” Just look at these ‘doers’ who are out to do things themselves!

Lord Krishna has said so many things; He said, “Enjoy the circumstance that is present before you and do not worry about what is not.” Food on your plate in front of you is a circumstance present before you. Businessmen do not enjoy their meals; their chit is always in their business. The body would be eating at the table but the chit will be at the factory. Now tell me what can even Lord Krishna do? Lord Krishna says, “These Vaishnavs worship on one hand and on the other they step on my tongue (on my words). They do not follow even a single word of mine.” What do you think? Do you think what I say is correct? Tell me, do you worry or not?

Questioner: I worry day and night. What should I do? I don’t want to worry and yet I do.
Dadashri:  There is a disregard for Lord Krishna’s agnas here, but at the same time, there is a cure for that. Every morning, in front of the Lord’s picture, put your hands together and pray, “Dear Lord, you have said not to worry at all because to do anything, or make others do, is all in your hands, yet I worry. What should I do? My wish is not to have a single worry. So give me your blessing and give me such energy that I never worry again.” Then if your worries continue, you can pray to Him again. You will stop worrying if you continue to do this. In doing this, you are tying a bond with the Lord. So, go home and remember ‘us’. Use ‘our’ name and pray to Lord Krishna five times every morning, and if you have worries, come back to me. Why would you have any worry if you are a true devotee of Lord Krishna and your intentions are pure? What is wrong with telling Lord Krishna the truth? A true and sincere devotee has the right to challenge and question the Lord. What is there to fear? You can tell the Lord, “I do not want to worry. My wish is to remain completely in your agna, but what can I do when I still have worries? I remain at your feet but I will not leave you alone until you help me.”
I had taught this to someone. He turned out to be very shrewd. He did this for eight days and on the ninth day he came to me and said, “Dada, Lord Krishna is pleased with me, I have not had a single worry.”  There is tremendous power in the words of a living Avatar. Anyone who follows these words will be blessed.

In Aurangabad a lady came to do ‘our’ darshan, she recited ‘Shri Krishna sharanam mamam (I surrender to Lord Krishna)’ for two minutes and immediately experienced a vision of Lord Krishna.

You can worship Lord Krishna as the gopis did (female cow-herds who were very devoted to Lord Krishna) but how can one be like a gopi without understanding Lord Krishna? How can you become a gopi and how can you worship Him with the devotion of a gopi without knowing the reality? Lord Krishna has two forms: One is the child Krishna and the other is Yogeshwar Krishna. No one has understood the form of Yogeshwar Krishna and so everyone is caught up in worshipping the form of the child Krishna. They offer the little lord sweets, toys, a baby-cot etc., but what is the benefit here? Pushti Dharma (child-Krishna worship) is a kindergarten level; it is a religion of the baby Krishna. The real religion is that of Yogeshwar Krishna. The child Krishna religion is like a temple of nursery school; it can help you only to a certain point. You need the religion of Yogeshwar Krishna; it is a temple of Gnan. Worship the Yogeshwar form of Lord Krishna if you want to go to moksha, and if you want to remain in the worldly life then worship the child Krishna. Lord Krishna was a Gnani. He became enlightened; He became a Gnani Purush (narayan) from an ordinary human being (nara). Nowadays where is God to be found in the temples? Ten thousand years ago, it was written in some scripture that in Kaliyug, such a Lord will have endless solutions to help people. Otherwise, people are not likely to shape up. So, now behold this Lord directly in front of you all! ‘We’ have personally arrived! Here in ‘our’ satsangs, there is harmony and union of the Jain, Vaishnav, Muslim and Christian religions. ‘We’ (Gnani Purush and the manifest Lord within) are the Sangmeshwar Bhagwan; one accepted by all religions. Those searching for Krishna find Lord Krishna and those searching for Khuda (the God of Muslims), find Khuda here. Many people have done darshan of Lord Krishna through ‘us’. Here, there is impartial religion.

Generally, it is like digging one grave and filling another. One is born a Hindu in one lifetime, he destroys mosques and in his next life he is born a Muslim and destroys Hindu temples. In every life he destroys things.  When he is born as a Vaishnav, he will criticize the Jains and when born as a Jain, he will criticize the Vaishnavs. We should accept renowned beings such as the Tirthankaras, Lord Rama, Lord Krishna, Lord Sahjanand, Lord Christ, Lord Paigambar and Lord Zarthost, as they are worshipped by many. If you understand them, then you will realize they are all one and if you do not, then they are many separate individuals.  Here, all religions are united. ‘We’ have no difference in opinion with any of these Lords. One hundred thousand Gnanis will have only one opinion (spiritual) and one agnani (the one who has no concept of the Self) will have a hundred thousand opinions.

The 5000 year old story about the cobra named Kaliya is really a metaphor. It is said that the child Krishna came and conquered the huge terrifying cobra that used to torment everyone. There was no such act performed by the child Krishna.  When you get upset and angry, that verily is the cobra.  The other cobra needs a snake charmer to bring it under control. Why would Lord Krishna need to extract the venom from the cobra?  What need does he have to do something like this?  Could they not find any snake charmers? Really, people do not understand the real meaning and yet this metaphor of the cobra and the misconception continues even today. Krishna is to be found wherever anger has been conquered (kaliyadaman).  Krishna (the Self) is to be found wherever kaliyadaman takes place. The cobra in kaliyadaman is anger and when one gains supreme control over anger, he becomes Krishna. The one who can crush his karma is Krishna.

 One person asked ‘us’, “Lord Krishna was not born out of his mother’s womb, was he?” ‘We’ asked him, “So then, did Lord Krishna drop from the sky? All embodied souls have to take birth from a mother’s womb.  Lord Krishna was born from Devkiji’s womb.”
Lord Krishna had bound a niyanu. What is a niyanu? It is a wish in exchange for what you have. It means to spend all your earned punyas (merit karmas) towards the fulfillment of that wish. Lord Krishna was a Vanik (trader class) in his past life, and as a Vanik he had suffered rejection and abuse everywhere he went, and then he became a sadhu. As a sadhu, he did tremendous penance and renunciation. What did he wish for in exchange for all his austerities? Did he wish for liberation or any such thing? His wish was that he should be worshipped by the whole world. Therefore, his punya was spent in the niyanu of wanting to be worshipped. Today his niyanu is five thousand years old.
