Seeing Krsna 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 supe-
rior and inferior. All we know is this, so let us stay |
here and rot.” Bhagavad-gita, however, gives us infor-
mation of the superior energy, the superior nature.

What Krsna 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 inter-
est. 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— Krsna consciousness.

How is this done? How is it possible to become
Krsna conscious in every step of our life? Actually
Krsna makes it very easy for us:

raso *ham apsu kaunteya
prabhasmi Sasi-suryayoh
pranavah sarva-vedesu
Sabdah khe paurusam nysu
“O son of Kunti [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 Sri Krsna is describing how we can

become Kysna conscious fully, in all stages of life.
