The birth of Krishna is a transformative event, not just a mythical story. When the energy of Krishna is born within a seeker, it’s essential to protect and nurture it. This energy is a seed of liberation, planted through the guru’s grace, spiritual practice, and self-realization.
However, the mind, symbolized by Kamsa, resists this new birth and seeks to destroy it. Kamsa represents the bondage of ignorance, which opposes liberation. As the seeker progresses on their spiritual journey, a battle ensues between the mind and the intellect.
To safeguard the Krishna energy, one must cultivate the wisdom of Vasisudeva, who bravely protected the infant Krishna. This wisdom is the intellect that discriminates between the essential and the non-essential.
The Krishna energy requires the care and devotion of Nanda Baba and the maternal love of Yashoda. These qualities are embodied in the seeker’s discernment and awareness, which must be nurtured and protected.
As Yashoda’s gaze was always fixed on Krishna, the seeker must focus their attention on the Krishna energy within. This requires binding the restless mind with the rope of awareness, allowing it to mature and become receptive to the guru’s guidance.
When the seeker achieves this state, they will be able to navigate the challenges of their spiritual journey. The kundalini energy, symbolized by the serpent Shesha Naga, will follow the seeker, obediently serving the Krishna energy.
Ultimately, the seeker will realize their true nature as Yogeshwar, the lord of yoga, and will proclaim their own Gita, a testament to their spiritual awakening. The birth of Krishna is not just a mythological event; it has the power to transform lives and bring about a revolution in consciousness.
