religion," but Lord Krishna tells us, "None of them is my true devotee. They do not follow my agna (special command) even for a day; not even for an hour.
Lord Krishna's Agna Lord Krishna says: "Why do you worry o mortal being! Lord Krishna will do whatever he wishes?" The Vaishnavs say, "Lord Krishna can say that, but how can we run our business without worrying? Surely one has to worry about the business!" Just look at these 'doers' who are out to do things themselves!
Lord Krishna has said so many things; He said, "Enjoy the circumstance that is present before you and do not worry about what is not." Food on your plate in front of you is a circumstance present before you. Businessmen do not enjoy their meals, their chit is always in their business. The body would be eating at the table but the chit will be at the factory. Now tell me what can even Lord Krishna do? Lord Krishna says, "These Vaishnavs worship on one hand and on the other they step on my tongue (on my words). They do not follow even a single word of mine." What do you think? Do you think what I say is correct? Tell me, do you worry or not?
Questioner: I worry day and night. What should I do? I don't want to worry and yet I do.
Dadashri: There is a disregard for Lord Krishna's agnas here, but at the same time, there is a cure for that. Every morning in front of the Lord's picture, put your hands together and pray, "Dear Lord, you have said not to worry at all because to do anything, or make others do, is all in your hands, yet I worry. What should I do? My wish is not to have a single worry. So give me your blessing and give me such energy that I never worry again." Then if your worries continue, you can pray to Him again. You will stop worrying if you continue to do this. In doing this, you are tying a bond with the Lord. So, go home and
remember 'us'. Use Tour' name and pray to Lord Krishna five times every morning, and if you have worries, come back to me. Why would you have any worry if you are a true devotee of Lord Krishna and your intentions are pure? What is wrong with telling Lord Krishna the truth? A true and sincere devotee has the right to challenge and question the Lord. What is there to fear? You can tell the Lord, "I do not want to worry. My wish is to remain completely in your agna, but what can I do when I still have worries? I remain at your feet but I will not leave you alone until you help me."
I had taught this to someone. He turned out to be very shrewd. He did this for eight days and on the ninth day he came to me and said, "Dada, Lord Krishna is pleased with me, I have not had a single worry." There is tremendous power in the words of a Gnani Purush. Anyone who follows these words will be blessed.
In Aurangabad a lady came to do 'our' darshan, she recited 'Shree Krishna sharanam mamam (I surrender to Lord Krishna)' for two minutes and immediately experienced a vision of Lord Krishna.
You can worship Lord Krishna as the gopis did (female cow-herds who were very devoted to Lord Krishna) but how can one be like a gopi without understanding Lord Krishna? How can you become a gopi and how can you worship Him with the devotion of a gopi without knowing the reality? Lord Krishna has two forms: One is the child Krishna and the other is Yogeshwar Krishna. No one has understood the form of Yogeshwar Krishna and so everyone is caught up in worshipping the form of the child Krishna. They offer the little lord sweets, toys, a baby-cot etc., but what is the benefit here? Pushti Dharma (child-Krishna worship) is a kindergarten level; it is a religion of the baby Krishna. The real religion is that of Yogeshwar Krishna. The child Krishna religion is like a temple
