Sree Krishna, the Lord of Love
Premananda Bharati, Baba
Krishna (Hindu deity)
"Yet a little while, O thou Goddess of Plenty, and One shall play upon
thy breast, which will make the veins of thy body to thrill with warm
love, so that thy heart will be beautiful beyond what it yet has been.
"Thy mountains shall laugh in great happiness on seeing the beauty of
Him who shall cast His lotus eyes upon their rugged sides.
"Thy rivers shall flow in rhapsodies when His Sweet Body shall sanctify
their waves by its contact.
"Thy harvests shall come forth in great plentifulness.
"Thy cows shall give forth milk that shall be nourishing and healing
unto all whom it will feed.
"Thy trees shall cast forth shadows that all who come under their
cooling shade, sick unto death, shall bound forth with the gladness of
life and love in their bodies, and, O patient Earth, all who tread upon
thee shall call thee blessed because the One All Beautiful shall have
made thee blessed by His Holy Feet treading upon thee."
Thus spake Brahmā unto Mother Earth, who lowly laid again her dark head,
and entering the Abode of Vishnoo, he said unto Him:
Thou Mighty One! Well dost Thou know the grievance of her, the Patient
One, who is dear unto us. Do Thou in Thy glory and majesty succor her, O
Lord!
"Let the Only One, the Lord of Love, the Sovereign of all the Universe,
the Author of all that lives, again be born upon her surface, and so
bring to her wilted breast the nectar of Love, that all who draw from
her may again partake freshly of the love that is the life of all
animate and inanimate.
"This Thou do, O Wondrous and Most Beautiful One, and quicken again with
love her heart and the hearts that beat against her breast, so that the
eyes of those who have eyes, yet see not, may see.
"Do Thou incarnate with Thyself those who have ever walked with Thee,
and who may, even before the eyes of all, perform and live miracles of
love. For, O Most High, full of stolid unbelief and fettered with the
world have Thy children become, so that even she who erstwhile ever
patient was has complainingly called unto me for help."
He, the Maker of all that is, forthwith spake:
"So shall it be. Unto her who has held upon her lap all those who are
mine and who hath come out of Me and who is also of Me, I shall be born.
"And great shall be the rejoicing of her and my children who walk upon
her surface.
"From the heart of man the weight of stone shall be lifted and his eye
shall be quickened with love, and I with my followers shall bring to
them the ways and means that love doth know, and the whole known world
shall again learn that I am Life and Love, that I the Creator of all
things am, even unto the ant and the huge elephant who by one blow of
his mighty trunk uprooteth the tree.
"They shall also know Me as Child, Son, Warrior, King, and Priest, and
in their midst I shall walk even with those who with Me shall be born
again, and seeing Me and knowing Me, I shall draw all unto Me, and close
with Me they shall again taste the sweetness of my love.
