Seeing Krsna Everywhere and Always 4l
drink water, when we see some illumination, we can
remember God. If we can do this, then when will we
not remember God? This is the process of Krsna con-
sciousness. In this way we can remember Krsna
twenty-four hours a day, and in this way Krsna is
with us. Of course Krsna is always with us, but as
soon as we remember this, His presence is factual
and is felt.

There are nine different processes for associating
with God, and the first method of association is
sravanam—hearing. By reading Bhagavad-gita we hear
the speeches of Sri Krsna, which means that we are
actually associating with Krsna or God. (We should
always remember that when we speak of Krsna, we
refer to God.) Inasmuch as we associate with God and
as we go on hearing the words of Krsna and His
names, the contamination of material nature is re-
duced. In understanding that Krsna is sound, illumi-
nation, water, and so many other things, it becomes
impossible to avoid Krsna. If we can remember Krsna
in this way, our association with Him is permanent.

Association with Krsna is like association with
sunshine. Where there is sunshine, there is no contami-
nation. As long as one is out in the ultraviolet rays of
the sun, he will not be diseased. In western medicine,
sunshine is recommended for all kinds of diseases,
and according to the Vedas a diseased man should
worship the sun for cure. Similarly, if we associate
with Krsna in Krsna consciousness, our maladies are
cured. By chanting Hare Krsna we can associate with
Krsna, and we can see the water as Krsna, the sun
