Lord Krishna states this is his most secret teaching: to love Him, to devote ourselves to Him, to be with Him knowingly.
He is already in each of our hearts, He is already everywhere and everything, everything is already done by Him.
Here knowledge, scripture and philosophy all crumble as, through our devotion, the heart opens. All are consumed by Him, and all we are left with is Him in all His glory.
We never were. All there ever was was Him.

As Jesus said when asked:
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
And he [Jesus] said to him,
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.This is the greatest and first commandment.”
Matthew 22:36-38

Also, as Shankara sung in his Bhaja Govindam:
“Worship Govinda, worship Govinda, worship Govinda,
Oh fool! Other than chanting the Lord’s names, there is no other way to cross the life’s ocean.”
(Govinda is another name for Krishna. Literally it means ‘protector of cows’ referring to Krishna’s youth as a cow herd.)

So, all that’s left for me do to is bow down and praise Him
❤ ❤ ❤
Hare Krishna!
Om Namah Shivaya!
May all beings be happy and well!
Praise be to God!
❤ ❤ ❤
