Live with Krishna, even in this life!

In a Srimad Bhagavatam lecture given in Los Angeles on 25 December 1973 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully revealed:

If you become devotee of Krishna, then you can live with Krishna, even in this life. Even in this life. Because Krishna is omnipotent, if you are really devotee of Krishna, He will talk with you, He will dance with you, He will eat with you, everything. Premanjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena [Bs. 5.38]. Again this bhakti. By bhakti, prema, love. Premanjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santah sadaiva [Bs. 5.38]. Santah, saintly persons. This word, Sanskrit word, santah, is also I think Latin. "Saint," santah. Santah means saintly persons. So santah, those who are saintly persons, those who have developed love of Krishna, they can see Krishna every moment. Santah sadaiva. Sadaiva means "every moment." They do not see anything except Krishna. That is saintly person. Rascals inquire, "Have you seen God?" "Not seen God, sir. He is seeing every moment." There is no question of seeing God once.

These words of Srila Prabhupada are indeed super inspiring. Just imagine being able to directly associate with Krishna as a personal associate even in this very lifetime at every minute. All we have to do to attain this ultimate privilege of becoming Krishna's associates is to factually become His devotees. So becoming a devotee is not a cheap thing. We have to really, really become Krishna's devotees by awakening our dormant love for Him, and then we will constantly see Him, talk with Him, and dance with Him.
