Tonight I went to Bhagavad Gita class at the Bhakti Center, and we are in the midst of the 10th chapter, which describes the opulence of God.
This is God:
I am adventure.
I am the beginning, the middle, the end.
Of bodies of water, I am the ocean.
I am all-devouring death.
I am the generating force of all that is yet to be.
I am the taste of water.
Of secrets, I am silence.
Of immovable things, I am the Himalayas.
Of all sacrifices, I am the chanting of the holy name.
Know that all beautiful and glorious creations spring from but a spark of My splendor.
God is so great. I can choose to see Him in every moment, every breath, every step I take in this world. He is everywhere. He is so amazing, so beautiful, so perfect.
Although He is so vast and great, I also know that Krishna is a simple, lovely boy who takes care of cows and steals butter.
Combine these two aspects - the awe-inspiring universal form and the heart-melting lovable cowboy - and my heart surrenders to Krishna. I just want to love Him and serve him every day of my life.
