Only Eyes of Knowledge See🔗

The first thought on waking up plays a major role in our enrichment throughout the day. Kṛṣṇa says that if we catch our body with fear or greed, we attract more fear or greed. Never enter the body through the fear or greed gate. Get up with a spiritual thought that brings completion in you.

The whole science of completion is before you. Kṛṣṇa says, 'Only those whose eyes are trained by knowledge can see the truth of this science, paśyanti jñāna cakṣuṣaḥ (15.10)'. He says fools cannot understand and only those with eyes of knowledge, can see. The choice of being a fool or a man with eyes of knowledge, jñāna-cakṣu is left to us.

Master, The Dispeller of Darkness (15.11-15.14)

Light is awareness, the sustainer of life. Without light and heat from the sun, life as we know it, is impossible. Everything in this world revolves around energy from the Sun. The Sun is also the dispeller of darkness. Not only does Kṛṣṇa establish that He is the creator of this Universe—the solar system, sun, moon and fire, which sustain our lives, but He also declares to us that He is the Dispeller of darkness.

Kṛṣṇa, as the Guru, is the Dispeller of darkness. Guru means one who dispels darkness. As the sun, moon, fire, Kṛṣṇa is the ultimate Master who leads us into awareness of our natural state of completion.

Please listen! Because you always see the Moon reflecting the Sun, you forget Moon does not have its own light! Same way, your mind does not have its own energy. But, from the time you saw your mind, it was always reflecting the Consciousness. Because of that you started feeling your mind as independent energy, which is not! So, the patterns you carry inside you, have no independent energy or power.

Kṛṣṇa is the destroyer of our root patterns, saṁskāras, the products of darkness. The presence of light dissolves darkness. The presence of Guru, completion, destroys saṁskāras.

Kṛṣṇa further expands on His pervasiveness. In the form of light and heat, He is the Sustainer of all beings within this Universe. He is Brahman and through His manifestation of the various natural elements of space, air, fire, water and earth, He is responsible for plant life and therefore for food and human beings.
