Getting To Know God
Page 171 of 176

Krishna and Rama are the Names of God, and Hare is none other than his inner energy, his energy of bliss.

The song of the holy names of the Supreme Lord allows:

To eliminate all the sins accumulated in all our previous lives of material existence, to purify our defiled heart, to be delivered from imprisonment in matter, (the material body) in this world, to obtain the spiritual knowledge, to progress and to give birth to all forms of devotional service, to awaken our love for Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, to taste spiritual happiness, to obtain the company of God and to devote ourselves to his a service of devotional love, as if one were immersing oneself in the waters of a great ocean of love and reaching, whatever the situation, for sure the supreme perfection. It is enough to recite or sing Hare Krishna, so that we find our original spiritual body and return to God, in our true home for eternity.

The Supreme Being, the Absolute Truth, Krishna, is eternal, as we are, spiritual souls; but its supremacy over all living beings is total.

Kṛiṣhṇa says, “Everything is under My direction.”

We must know our identity perfectly. We are, in truth, spiritual souls, eternal servants of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person. But whoever recognizes this truth and abandons himself to the Lord is immediately released. Knowing that he is protected in all circumstances, he is freed from all worries and anxieties. In fact, we are all under the protection of God, so why not rely on Him. God is infinitely great when we are tiny fragments of his Person; this is the very nature of the bond that unites us to Him.

The Supreme Lord says:

“All beings are fragments of My Person. They do only one with me qualitatively, but differ quantitatively.”

So we are One with God, but simultaneously different from Him. Identical, we are because we have the same attributes as God. But a serious analysis will show us that if there are very noble characteristics in us, God manifests them all to infinity. All that we possess exists originally in God or in other words, everything emanates from Him. Therefore, before His greatness, our position is that of eternal servants and servants of God.

In truth, we are in relation to God only tiny fragments of his Person, tiny integral parts of his Person; therefore our duty is to devote all our energy to Him and to cooperate with Him. This is how to consider the link that unites us. Otherwise, our existence will lose all reason for being; we will be cut off. When a finger no longer plays its role, the doctor recommends: “It must be amputated, or the infection will win the whole body.” Similarly, by becoming an atheist, we cut ourselves off from God, and we must suffer in the material world.
