In Vrndavan, the earth feels the mood of consorthood. So, the Vrndavan-lila of Krishna is so wonderful that even Brahma, the creator of the universe, said, «How can we understand You, my Lord? I know something about my Lord Narayan, who is near to me. He and I have some direct connection so that I may discharge my official duties. But You have come within my circle, and I can’t understand You. What is this?» He tried his best to test Krishna by kidnapping His cowherd boyfriends and calves, but he was astounded to find that, «Although I have removed them, everything is as it was before; Krishna is still surrounded by His friends and their calves, engaged in their pleasure Pastimes. So, He is infinite. Even as the lord of the universe, my interference could not disrupt anything under His control. By His own sweet will, He conducts His play. I tried to test Him, but now I am bewildered by His inconceivable potency. I could not understand that although an apparently human cowherd boy, He is nonetheless the suprememost, higher than even Lord Narayan.» He pleaded with Krishna, «Now I have come to my senses; please forgive me, my Lord.»
What use is a particle of our intelligence? How much can it measure the infinite? Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu says, «Don’t try to apply your brain to the infinite. The brain is not a unit for measurement in that plane. Your intellect is canceled by the infinite. Try to measure it only by feeling, by taste, by heart — the brain will be your enemy. It will always deceive you in its measurement, and that will disturb you and limit your progress.»
Only faith can help us. Otherwise, nothing can reach that plane. We can reach the sun or moon only with the help of advanced technology. We can’t reach out and touch it with our hand or with a long stick. In the same way, to connect with the highest reality, faith alone can help one. Faith is the most spacious medium. But even that is very meager in consideration of the high thing with which you would like to connect, the supreme cause of all causes.
We are tiny souls. How much can we accommodate with our faith? How wide and how broad is our faith? What can we catch within our faith? What we are seeking is infinite, and we are very much afraid: «Oh, if I rely on faith, something may go wrong. I may be deceived.» But within our tiny hearts, how much faith can we contain? Only by analogy with the sky or the ocean may we understand anything about the Infinite, but what is that in comparison? Nothing.
And what is the Infinite? That from which everything is coming, by which everything is maintained, and into which everything is ultimately entering; the all-comprehensive, all-permeating, all-controlling, all-attracting, all-feeling Absolute.
So, everything is all right with the Infinite and the environment. We have only to correct ourselves, to adjust ourselves. This is the conclusion — «Try to adjust yourself; everything is all right with the environment. We must leave everything to the Supreme Lord and conduct ourselves accordingly.» That will bring us real peace and progressive realisation in spiritual life.
