The ultimate aspiration and goal of our life ……….. Nectarean Mellows

Arjuna was such a great devotee. He asked Krsna show me the Virat Rupa. Krsna said 'No one could see this Virat Rupa unless I give them the eyes to see'; Krsna gave Arjuna the eyes to see this Virat Rupa with unlimited heads, arms, legs, mouths. All devouring time was right before him; Arjuna said 'I see no beginning and I see no end to this form'; he was completely feeling himself incompetent to perceive to understand what he was seeing. And that was Arjuna who was actually given the eyes by Krsna to see it. And we don't even have the eyes and yet we think we are very, very expert in describing the glorification of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And that Virat Rupa is only a temporary manifestation of the Lord's material potency. The more we understand Krsna, the more we become completely humbled how insignificant we are!! If you have false pride that is the symptom that you don't understand Krsna properly. How can you be proud when you are standing before the Lord who is unlimited? Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He didn't pray to be God or the great seer of the truth; Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in His sikshaktam is praying to be one atomic particle of dust at the lotus feet of Lord Krsna. That is the ultimate aspiration and goal of our life: just to be that atomic little particle of a dust at the lotus feet of Krsna, or to be a dust particle at the feet of the servants of the servants of the servants of the devotees of Krsna. This is real knowledge: to have this aspiration.
