Krishna\'s Mercy

Seeing with Knowledge Krishna\'s Mercy

Publisher Marketing: Who is God? Is He just an abstract concept conceived in the bewildered mind looking for some real meaning to life? Fruitive activity seems to be the obvious solution to redress mental ailments. 'Just go wherever the sense impulses take you and you will be alright. If you feel like eating something now, go for it. Want to indulge in intoxication, why not give it a try?' When the pattern of repeated acceptance and rejection, happiness and dissatisfaction, is recognized, the search continues for a higher truth. Perhaps there is something beyond this temporary realm. Maybe there is a supreme controller who is not bewildered by duality, and perhaps there is a purpose to our existence that can be revealed from connecting with that person. You know that living entities are always coming and going, and thus their lives are temporary. Therefore, the learned people of this world take to performing prescribed worldly duties which yield auspicious results. (Hanuman speaking to Tara, Valmiki Ramayana, Kishkindha Kand, 21.5) Seeing With Knowledge is a collection of thirteen essays which discuss higher knowledge, where to find it, and how to use it to gain the highest benefit.
