Conversation With Lord Krishna - V (Fiction) Poem by Varanasi Ramabrahmam

I: A Jnaani or enlightened spiritual person is equated with children. Why so?

Lord Krishna: A child’s concentration is completely on what is happening now. And the child completely forgets about it moment after the event. They do not carry any baggage called past or future. They live in the Present. The aim, purpose and use of spirituality are to acquire the ability to live in the Present and be peaceful always.

I: Is it possible?

Lord Krishna: One must not entertain doubts or apprehensions. One must have complete faith. Do not waste time in doubting or apprehending; do your duty properly at the appropriate time unmindful of the result and leave the fruits to Me.

If you think of result you can not concentrate on the present work and your efficiency in doing the work suffers and you will not be able to do the work according to your ability and capability. They will be punctured if you divert your attention to the results of your actions.

I: I also like Your Divine Sport of causing us the illusion that we are doing everything by our abilities even though the reality is You doing every thing.

Lord Krishna: I admire and appreciate your humility in ascribing every thing to Me and My ability or sport though the reality is you do every thing and give the credit to me.

I: Lord You are the Master of the Universe. Why won’t You remove unhappiness, difficulties, crimes, atrocities and the like?

Lord Krishna: I long to do it. But you have been not allowing Me to do that.

I: You can punish us for our wrong doings.

Lord Krishna: I have been punishing the wicked from times immemorial, but of no avail. Fresh people do fresh wrongs, crimes etc., . You always keep Me busy with your wrong doings. You never allow me to take some rest. I have always to be on tenter-hooks and attentive else I may punish wrongly.

I: So this has to go on like this.

Lord Krishna: Yes.

Still,

Paritraanaaya saadhoonaam
Vinasaayacha duskrutaam
Dharma samsthapanaarthaaya
Sambhavaami yuge yuge

Meaning: I will be manifesting as different incarnations from time to time to protect the devoted and good people and to destroy the wicked and to establish righteousness.
