How To Open Our Eyes To See Krishna - Prabhupada 0406



740704 - Lecture SB 01.08.18 - Chicago

Kṛṣṇa is everywhere, God is everywhere, aṇḍāntara-stha-paramāṇu-cayāntara-stham. So alakṣyam sarva-bhūtānām. Although Kṛṣṇa is outside and inside, both, still we cannot see Kṛṣṇa unless we have got the eyes to see Kṛṣṇa.

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is to open the eyes how to see Kṛṣṇa, and if you can see Kṛṣṇa, antah bahih, then your life is successful. Therefore śāstra says that antar bahir.

antar bahir yadi kṛṣṇa tapasā tataḥ kiṁ nāntar bahir yadi haris tapasā tataḥ kim (Nārada Pañcarātra)

Everyone is trying to become perfect, but the perfection means when one can see Kṛṣṇa within and without. That is perfection.
