KRISHNA
...
Krishna
was a Messenger
of God . His Message was the Message of
love. He was born in a prison. This was a sign for us to know that all
of us are born in the prison of self, the prison
of
this world. Krishna miraculously escaped from prison. If we try to be good
, if we try to
be
godly, we too , can escape from the prison of self.
.
Krishna,
like all the other Manifestations of God,
was confronted with the forces of evil. He fought against evil and became
victorious. No matter how powerful evil might be, the
power
of truth is always victorious.
.
Krishna
became the king of Dwarka - which means the small Gate. He was the
gate of the knowledge of God Himself. His teachings were for the good of
man. But alas! man has
rejected
them.
.
Krishna
was sad that the people could not understand Him. He complained that people
did
not
believe in Him because He came in human form. They had their own fancies
about
God
and His Manifestation. Therefore , when Krishna claimed that He manifested
God,
the people rejected Him. This is what Krishna says in the Gita:
.
"
The deluded despise Me clad in human body
not knowing My higher nature as Lord of all existence.
" ( Gita , ix , 11)
