Question: Now I have got the human birth, how can I surrender to Supreme Lord?
Srila Gurudev: Here you see, a real bonafide surrendered devotee, if you submit to him, then by his association your eternal nature, causeless devotion to Supreme Lord Sri krishna and the basis of it, submission, saranagati, taking absolute shelter to Supreme Lord, you will get. Without true devotee, even if Krishna appears, you will not be able to understand. Directly, it is necessary for us to come in contact with a bonafide devotee. When one person always thinking about all these living beings here, If everybody thinks seriously then he may send his own person to him and he will have impetus, he will the opportunity to come in contact with them.
Now he shall have to come to Gokul Mahavan, appearance place of Nandnandan Krishna, there he will come. What you'll see there? There, in brahmand ghat, by the side of Yamuna, there Krishna, little child, is eating earth. A child, whatever he sees, puts in his mouth, that's the nature of the child. By seeing him, all the cowherd boys go to Yasoda devi. Mother, Krishna is eating earth, Huttt.. He cannot eat soil, If he eats he will have so many diseases, you have got no knowledge. I will ask His elder brother Balaram. Balaram came and Yasoda devi asked whether Kanhai is eating earth? Yes.. Yes? He does not know anything. Yasoda mata came. And when she came the little boy has in His mouth so much earth. You have no knowledge. If you take this it will harm you, diarrhea etc will come, you do not know this? I shall give you a slap. By seeing the slap the child is afraid and opened His mouth, Yasoda Devi saw the whole Brahmand in it. So how brahmand has come in this little boy? How Brahmand entered into Him. Whole brahmand is visible in his mouth. Small boy. Inconceivable power.
When all complained against Krishna, Krishna is going to all houses and stealing curd, milk etc.,then Yasoda mata asked- Have you done this? No. No, they are speaking lie. But once Yasoda mata personally saw. I do not want to say wrong history, you can hear it in Vraj dham . After that when Yasoda devi herself saw that little child did this then, she wanted to punish the child. She tried to slap, with a cane tried to beat but Krishna Is crying so much , all demigods, yamraj, Brahma, they fear Krishna but Krishna was crying seeing the cane. What is this? The mother thought He is a small child and has no knowledge, it is not good to beat Him and tried to pacify Him. What can I do? So wicked and naughty, so she brought a rope to measure His small belly but found it two fingers short. She brought another rope and joined to the first one and again measured, but it is again two fingers short. Whole rope of Gokul Mahavan was joined but she could not tie it around the small belly of the child. Always two fingers less, what is this, He is such a small boy. He is Lord of all Lords. In Him, particles of dust, innumerable brahmands are moving. So called gyanis, yogis can’t understand inconceivable power of Supreme Lord. Every time two fingers. Why? Not three or four, one finger is the grace of Supreme Lord, without the grace of Supreme Lord you cannot attract Him. To get the grace of Supreme Lord, you have to attract Him by bonafide service attitude.
