Krishna, the Centre
Book, Sreela Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj
-
When there are different centres of interests, nobody can avoid the clashing of individuals, groups, nations etc. For example, if circles are drawn with different centres, circumferences will clash, but if there is one centre of interest there may be smaller or bigger circles but there will be no clashing. According to Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu there should be knowledge of the real self, real interest and one centre of interest. The Supreme Lord Sri Krishna who is Achyuta can be the only common centre of interest from whom all the spirit souls have emanated.
If we pour water at the root of the tree, the whole tree is nourished with all its parts. In like manner, by serving Krishna we serve all. Non-violence is to refrain from doing injury to others. It is negative, but love is to do positive good to others. If anybody has got pure love for any person, he cannot have the impetus to inflict injuries to any part of the object of his love. If we get love for Krishna, we cannot have the impetus to inflict injuries to any of His parts emanating from His marginal potency. All jivas are interrelated through their relation to Sri Krishna.
