Description: In Kṛṣṇa’s greatness, He has the power to reveal Himself to us. If you’re going for a job interview, you really need the job—but they don’t really need you—they’re going to listen to 200 applicants. What is your attitude when you go in? Consider that relationship. I’m not saying it’s synonymous with our relationship with Kṛṣṇa because, unlike a cold-hearted employer, Kṛṣṇa is always our friend. Gajendra says this when he talks about being in peril; he tells the Lord, 'You’re always attentive to me, not just when I pray. Even before I come into a hyper-state of neediness and start praying to You, You already are attentive to my needs and desires. You’ve always been fulfilling them, and You’ve always been there for me.' It’s just that, now, I’ve woken up to another state of consciousness and I need You. But we have to consider our relationship with Kṛṣṇa. This is the methodology of bhakti: it’s not that we pry knowledge from the Absolute Truth; not that we demand, or that we have a sense of entitlement. All of these are prohibitive of realizing our relationship with Kṛṣṇa. This is one of the topics Kṛṣṇa talks about in the Bhagavad-gītā, in the 13th Chapter, when He talks about our relationship with the world—that we are consciousness and the rest of the material manifestation is mechanical. We’re very different from the mechanical nature of the world. And then He gives this list of 20 attitudes that allow us to understand our nature and the nature of God. It starts with humility, and then the second one is pridelessness. It goes on from there with very 'non-scientific' approaches—at least, non-scientific in terms of the idea that the empiric observer, through discipline and the controlled experiment, can pry knowledge from material nature.God can’t be controlled. So, how are you going to have a controlled experiment? ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose
