Sree Krishna, the Lord of Love
Premananda Bharati, Baba
Krishna (Hindu deity)
The body of the Supreme Deity, Krishna's Body, is concrete-looking like
man's, but infinite in the expansion of its Radiance or Real Self, just
as, to repeat the simile, the orb of the sun is the concrete-looking
centre of its abstract Self in the manifestation of its light and heat.
The orb, its radiance and its heat must altogether be called the sun,
and not the orb alone. Krishna, the spiritual Soul of the sun as well as
of the Universe, has likewise a Form-centre, from which radiates to
limitless Infinity His effulgence called Absolute Love, which pervades
all creation and space.
This body of Krishna, the Parent Cause of the universe, is made up of
concentrated Absolute Love, and is the Home of the Very Finest Ideas
(potencies) of the sense-principles and the Ego, Mind and Intellect,
which form the main factors of Creation.
The Beauty of the Body of Krishna changes, like the shifting colors in a
kaleidoscope, into more and more soul-entrancing loveliness at every
second, for it reflects the concentrated Beauty and Sweetness of the
whole universe, charms warring with charms for supremacy—bubbling foam
and froth of the Sweetness of the Nectar of Love.
SECTION II. THE SCIENCE OF CREATION.
It is an intelligent conclusion to draw that the imperfect
form-creations of the Creator reach a perfect stage, or centre, towards
which all imperfections converge in order to reach perfection. That
centre does exist, that stage is the stage by the standard of which all
imperfections of things and phases in Nature are known and judged. That
centre is the Supreme God Himself—Krishna.
Krishna, both Concrete and Abstract, has three main spiritual
attributes: Love, Intelligence and Life. Love is the first attribute and
the cause of the two others. As the sun (the orb) and its effulgence, to
once more repeat the analogy, are one and the same thing, as the flame
and its light are one and the same thing, as without the sun there can
be no sunshine, as without the flame there can be no light; in other
words, as light is inseparable from both the sun and the flame, so
Krishna, though He has a form as finite-looking as a human form, is not
only infinite in His All-pervading Radiance, but that Radiance is
inseparable from his finite-looking Form-Centre. As sunshine, again, is
inseparable from heat, so the effulgence of Krishna's Central Self is
inseparable from Intelligence. This Universal All-pervading
Intelligence, again, is inseparable from Existence or Being, otherwise
called Life. These three Absolute Spiritual Attributes form Krishna's
body, both Concrete and Abstract.
