Thought for the day

One's feelings should be entirely centered on God

Whatever one speaks
Whatever one eats 
Whatever one thinks
Wherever one goes
If his sight is centered on God, he will not be touched by the world

From the book 10 Avatars in 1
 
In Gokulam Krishna asked the Gopas, “Why are you performing pooja to Indra? Who has seen Indra? Do pooja to Govaradhana giri. In this mountain our cows are grazing.” Then they began to perform pooja and so Indra got very angry. He showered so much rain it was as if it was a pralaya. For seven days there was hail.  All were afraid and did not know anyway to escape. Then Krishna immediately lifted the Govardhanagiri with His little finger. For all seven days the Gopals, cows and cave were safe under the mountain. The Gorvadhanagiri protected them from lightening, rain, thunder etc…

In the same way, the entire world is suffering from the karmas of Kali. Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has descended as avatar to rescue the people from the Kali. Under one Govardhana mountain, one Gokulam could stay. Yet, how can the entire world escape from this karma pralaya? One mountain is not enough. Before Swami said, “I will carry a mountain range.” That mountain range is the Stupi. The entire world will benefit from their karma and safely live under the Stupi. This is Sathya Yuga. They will benefit and karmas will be removed.

What has Krishna taught through this story of the Govardhana mountain? It is to not to perform pooja to the God who cannot seen by the eyes but to shower love on the creation that can be seen by you. Show love, perform service and worship.
