Dare to Think of Krsna as Your Friend! – Dandavats.com
HH Sacinandana Swami: For many devotees in our movement, Krsna is anything but a friend. They do not dare to think in this direction. Some feel it is sahajiyaism, or taking things too lightly, while others think, “He is so far away and inaccessible. A friend is someone I can call with my smartphone or write a whatsapp to. Krsna is a friend? Is this just a swami-hype? How can we relate to this?” My dear devotees, you can only find peace in your life if you become aware that:
Krsna is your best friend and there are definite things you can do to establish a firm friendship with Krsna.
Let us look at the first point and how the acaryas (spiritual teachers) explain it and then discuss the second point. Srila Baladeva Vidya-bhusana cites the well-known line from Bhagavad-gita (5.29) suhrdam sarva-bhutanam – which describes Krsna as the good friend of all living entities in this world and comments that this means that Krsna is an unprejudiced wellwisher and He doesn’t judge you. He also has no place in His heart for the mistakes of His devotees. He is a true friend.
