Seeing Krṣṇa Everywhere and Always
39
to understand where our place actually is, where we are to go. If we do not know where to go, then we will simply say, “Oh, we do not know what is superior and inferior. All we know is this, so let us stay here and rot.”  Bhagavad-gītā , however, gives us information of the superior energy, the superior nature.
What Krṣṇa speaks, He speaks for all eternity; it does not change. It does not matter what our present occupation is or what Arjuna’s occupation was—we only have to change our consciousness. At present we are guided by the consciousness of self-interest, but we do not know what our real self-interest is. Actually we do not have self-interest, but sense interest. Whatever we are doing, we are doing to satisfy the senses. It is this consciousness that has to be changed. In its place we must implant our real self-interest—Krṣṇa consciousness.
How is this done? How is it possible to become Krṣṇa conscious in every step of our life? Actually Krṣṇa makes it very easy for us:
raso 'ham apsu kaunteya prabhāsmi śaśi-sūryayoḥ praṇavaḥ sarva-vedeṣu śabdaḥ khe pauruṣam nṛṣu
“O son of Kuntī [Arjuna], I am the taste of water, the light of the sun and the moon, the syllable  om  in the Vedic  mantras ; I am the sound in ether and ability in man.” (Bg. 7.8)
In this verse Śrī Krṣṇa is describing how we can become Krṣṇa conscious fully, in all stages of life.
