How to Find the Lord
7 May 1979 evening, Fiesch, Switzerland

Náhaḿ tiśt́hámi Vaekuńt́he na ca yogináḿ hrdaye,
Ahaḿ tiśt́hámi Nárada mad bhaktá yatra gáyante.

“Oh, Nárada, I don’t stay in Vaekuńt́ha, nor in the hearts of yogis; but I reside where my devotees sing.”

Vaekuńt́ha is the mythological abode of the Lord. But the Lord says that, that is not an ideal abode for Him. Nor does He like to reside in Yogiis’ hearts, because the Yogiis have their hearts closed. Now if their hearts are closed, where will the Lord reside? So He shifts His abode, His nucleus, to that place where His devotees are singing the Lord’s name, they are doing their kiirtana.

So the Cosmic Entity, the Supreme Father, has no other alternative but to shift His nucleus to the spot where His devotees are singing. So you are to create an environment of Divinity, not only on this small planet, but in the entire Cosmos. So you must. If you want to gain, if you want to taste, the Divine bliss, the Divine nectar, you should be good kiirtanites.

And if you want this artificially-divided humanity to become one – spiritually it is one but in physical and psychic realms defective ideals have divided this singular entity into many – if you want to make them one in the realm of physicality and intellectuality you must bind them, you must bring them to a platform that knows no artificial boundaries.
