How to attain , Harmony with Sri Krishna ?

A person's heart is like a tree . Two birds are sitting on that tree .  One Bird enjoys the fruits of that tree whereas the other Bird just witnesses everything .  The first Bird is *Jeevatma* ( soul) . And the second bird is *Paramatma* or Supersoul ( Sri Krishna) . 
How could  a Person's *Jeevatma* attain blissful harmony with *Paramatma* ? .  It is by Bhakti ,  By surrendering to the divine personal form of Sri Krishna and chanting Bhagavan's favorite *Hare Krishna Mahamantra* , a Bhakta can attain perfect harmony with Bhagavan . 
By seeking *SharanAgathi*  in Sri Krishna, a Bhakta registers himself for Bhagavan's grace . The constant Chanting of * Hare Krishna Mahamantra* removes the dirt in his heart thereby revealing the divine form of Sri Krishna . 
In reality , we all are nothing . We are just instruments in the hands of Bhagavan who uses us for various purposes .  It is our freewill that decides whether to become *Daivic* ( Godly) by obeying Sri Krishna's instructions ( Vedas summarized in Gita)  or to become *Asuric* ( demonic) by opposing Him . 
Please chant  :
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
and be happy !!!
Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya!! !

whatever object or being a man thinks of at the time of his death or departure from the body, that alone does he attain

yum yum vaapi smaranbhaavam tyajatyante kalevaram
tam tamevaiti kaunteya sadaa tadbhaavbhaavitah (Gita 8/6)
O Kaunteya (Arjuna), whatever object or being a man thinks of at the time of his death or departure from the body, that alone does he attain, being ever absorbed in its thought. (in other words he takes birth in those wombs) (Gita 8/6)
A being is reborn in the body he thinks of at the time of death. As is his nature, he thinks accordingly at the time of death. As a man tending to a pet dog thinks of it at the time of death, he is born as a dog. As the programme broadcast from a particular radio station is received at a particular wave-­length and then spreads in the form of sound, the thought of a dog with which he has been connected is caught by him somehow. The soul with subtle and causal bodies enters the body of the dog via water, air (breath) or food etc. Thereafter, it enters the body of a female dog and takes birth as a puppy at the appropriate time.
This can be explained with the help of an illustration. A person goes to a photographer and requests him to take his photograph. The photographer advises him to keep a smiling face without any movement. But when the photographer asks him to be ready, a fly sits on his nose and so he moves his facial muscles to get rid of that fly. The result is that in the photograph he appears with a distorted face. In the same way, a man is reborn according to his thoughts at the time of death.
As far as the time to take a photograph is concerned, we know it before hand, but we do not know the time of death. So, by purifying our nature and thoughts, we should be ever alert and think of Him at all times (Gita 8/5, 7).
In this directive of the Lord is seen His justice, as well as mercy. Generally, justice and mercy (compassion) seem incompatible, because if there is justice, there cannot be compassion (mercy), while having mercy, justice cannot be done. The reason is that in doing proper justice there is no leeway, but in mercy, concessions are made. As such, this rule is applicable to ordinary unkind human beings, not to the Lord, as He is the most gracious One, and is a disinterested friend of all beings, (Gita 5/29). So, all His ordinances and rules are full of justice and mercy.
Whatever being a man thinks of at the time of death, he acquires the same form on rebirth. If he dies thinking of a dog, he is reborn as a dog. This is God's justice. But He has given freedom of choice to man, to think either of a dog or of a man, or of God, and this is His mercy. A man can attain God, simply by thinking of Him, as he can obtain the body of a dog, by thinking of it. If a man starts thinking of God's justice and compassion, he will be attracted towards God alone.

Attain Salvation by Accepting that All is God.

Gist: The main principle of the Gita is "Everything is God." There is nothing else besides God. Whatever our mind and intellect comprehends, it is all God. Thus there is nothing left to know. We must accept this fact with determination. It is only a matter of changing our view, our outlook. Believing in this view is best.


Attain Salvation by Accepting that All is God.


"In the very last of all births the enlightened soul worships Me, realising that all this God ..." Gita 7:19. The main principle of the Gita is "Vasudev Sarvam." "Everything is God."


God also says - "Now listen how with the mind attached to Me (through exclusive love) and practising Yoga with absolute dependence on Me, you will know Me in entirety and without any shadow of doubt." (Gita 7:1)


The Jnana Yogi sees God in him, The Karma Yogi sees God next to him while the Bhakti Yogi sees only God.


There is nothing else besides God. He is the one who looks after, He is the one who is looked after, He is the truth and the untruth, He perishes and He prevails. There is not the tiniest place as much as a pin which is without Him. There is no I, you, this or that. I is God, You is God, this is God and that is God. Whatever your mind and intellect comprehends, it is all God. Thus there is nothing left to know.


We must accept this fact with determination. We don't have to do anything new or get anything new. All that we need to do is change the way we look at things. We have to change our view. Believing in this view is the best.


We don't know our parents as we do not remember our birth. We simply accept them as we have been told. So we must believe and accept that God is our father. We are very much a part of Him.


The Gita and the Ramayan are two beautiful scriptures given to us. We can keep reading, understanding and hearing the Gita - it is endless and most importantly they are the spoken words of God.
