Chapter 6: Verse-30

yo mäm pasyati sarvatra
sarvam ca mayi pasyati
tasyäham na pranasyämi
sa ca me na pranaçyati[1]


TRANSLATION

For one who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, I am never lost, nor is he ever lost to Me.


PURPORT

A person in krsna consciousness certainly sees Lord krsna everywhere, and he sees everything in Krsna. Such a person may appear to see all separate manifestations of the material nature, but in each and every instance he is conscious of Krsna, knowing that everything is a manifestation of Krsna’s energy. Nothing can exist without Krsna, and krsna is the Lord of everything—this is the basic principle of krsna consciousness.krsna consciousness is the development of love of Krsna—a position transcendental even to material liberation. At this stage of krsna consciousness, beyond self-realization, the devotee becomes one with krsna in the sense that krsna becomes everything for the devotee and the devotee becomes full in loving Krsna. An intimate relationship between the Lord and the devotee then exists. In that stage, the living entity can never be annihilated, nor is the Personality of Godhead ever out of the sight of the devotee. To merge in krsna is spiritual annihilation. A devotee takes no such risk. It is stated in the Brahma-samhitä[2]

premänjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena
santah sadaiva hrdayesu vilokayanti
yam syämasundaram acintya-guna-svarüpam
govindam ädi-purusam tam aham bhajämi

“I worship the primeval Lord, Govinda, who is always seen by the devotee whose eyes are anointed with the pulp of love. He is seen in His eternal form of Syämasundara, situated within the heart of the devotee.” At this stage, Lord krsna never disappears from the sight of the devotee, nor does the devotee ever lose sight of the Lord. In the case of a yogi who sees the Lord as Paramätmä within the heart, the same applies. Such a yogi turns into a pure devotee and cannot bear to live for a moment without seeing the Lord within himself. ties, although in different situations according to the results of fruitive work, in allcircumstances remain the servants of God. While in the material energy, the living entity serves the material senses; and while in spiritual energy, he serves the Supreme Lord directly. In either case the living entity is the servant of God. This vision of equality is perfect in a person in krsna consciousness.
