# Seeing Kṛṣṇa Everywhere *On how to perceive Kṛṣṇa in creation* --- ### The Taste of Water > "I am the taste of the water." *Prabhāsmi śaśi-sūryayoḥ.* So you see the sunshine. This is Kṛṣṇa. The moonshine is Kṛṣṇa. First of all try to see Kṛṣṇa in. Just like there are two kinds of snakes. One snake is poisonless, and another snake is poisonous. So before catching the poisonous snake, you practice to catch the non-poisonous snake. Then gradually you'll be able. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa is everywhere, and this is the process to see Kṛṣṇa. That is a fact. When Kṛṣṇa says, "I am the taste of the water," that is a fact. So you see this Kṛṣṇa. Then you will, one day, you will realize the Supreme Kṛṣṇa. There is no difference between this Kṛṣṇa and that Kṛṣṇa. This is the process [break] .learn something, you should accept the process. If you don't accept the process, how you can learn?

When we cannot accommodate that how from a person all these material manifestation, the gigantic sky, the innumerable planets with different varieties of energies, how it is possible that it is produced from a person. Therefore, those who are in poor fund of knowledge, they think just the opposite way. Because personally, how it is possible? Therefore they think of the Supreme Absolute Truth as imperson. But that is not fact. Person. — [[spoken/1971/710330bg.bom|Bhagavad-gītā 7.4–5, Bombay, March 30, 1971]] --- ### Sound Incarnation of Kṛṣṇa > So you have to rectify your faulty senses—eyes, hands, everything. Then you can understand Kṛṣṇa. That is stated here: *kalau naṣṭa-dṛśām.* In this age, *kalau.* This is called Kali, Age of Kali—fighting. Quarrel means disagreement and fight, *kalau. Kalau naṣṭa-dṛśām eṣa purāṇārko 'dhunoditaḥ*. This *Purāna,* this *Bhagavata*-*Purāna,* is just like sunshine, or sun: *adhunoditaḥ.* So we should take advantage of this sunshine, Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa's., what is called, *śabdha* incarnation. This *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.* Kṛṣṇa has many incarnations. Just like here, we are worshiping the Deity, this is called *arcā-avatāra.* Similarly, this *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam* is sound *avatāra.* Kṛṣṇa can appear as *avatāra* in anything, because this sound means from sky, and this *arcā* is from stone. — [[spoken/1972/720324sb.bom|Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.3.43, Bombay, March 24, 1972]] --- ### Ultimate Goal of All Paths > So there are two kinds of intelligence going on: to the demons a certain type of intelligence, and to the devotee a certain type of intelligence. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says, *buddhir buddhimatām asmi*. You don't take it as stereotype, that He is giving intelligence equally to everyone. No. He is giving. — [[spoken/1972/720327bg.bom|Bhagavad-gītā 7.10, Bombay, March 27, 1972]] --- ### Kṛṣṇa Is the Essence of All Scriptures > Now, so far scriptures are concerned, there are different scriptures all over the world in the civilized society, but *Bhagavad-gītā,* the Lord says that "The essence of all scripture is to understand my constitutional position." That's all. All the rituals. We should not be stuck up to the rituals or to the formulas of the. Of course, in the preliminary stages we require to stick to the formulas of religious scripture. But we must know that the whole idea is targeted to understand my real position. That is the whole idea of all scripture. — [[spoken/1966/660328bg.ny|Bhagavad-gītā 2.46–47, New York, March 28, 1966]] --- *5 verified verbatim quotes from Śrīla Prabhupāda on seeing Kṛṣṇa everywhere*
