Knowledge of Krsna’s Energies 33

His omnipresent energies, will manifest Himself any-
where and everywhere, but when His devotee is not
there, He will not do this. There are many instances
of this. Prahlada Maharaja saw Krsna in a pillar.
There are many other examples. Krsna is there; all
that is required is our qualification to see Him.

Krsna Himself gives an example of His omni-
presence in this way:

yathakasa-sthito nityam
vayuh sarvatra-go mahan
tatha sarvani bhittani
mat-sthanity upadhdraya
“As the mighty wind, blowing everywhere, always
rests in ethereal space, know that in the same manner
all beings rest in Me.” (Bg. 9.6)

Everyone knows that the wind blows within
space, and on earth it is blowing everywhere. There
is no place where there is no air or wind. If we wish
to drive out air, we have to create a vacuum arti-
ficially by some machine. Just as the air is blowing
every where in space, so everything is existing within
Krsna. If this is the case, when the material creation
is dissolved, where does it go?

sarva-bhittani kaunteya
prakrtim yanti mamikam
kalpa-ksaye punas tani
kalpddau visrjamy aham
“O son of Kunti, at the end of the millennium every
material manifestation enters into My nature, and at
the beginning of another millennium, by My potency
I again create.” (Bg. 9.7)
