2020-12-15 • Q&A: How to See God • B.S.Goswāmī Mahārāja • CNX • [en]

Q: In one of the apocryphal Christian story, the words of Jesus are cited: “Whoever does not see God during his life, he will not see even after.” Do these words sound true? And what does it mean “to see God during life?”

Culturing divinity. — To see the Lord everywhere. — The power of Advaita Acharya’s prayer brings the Lord into this world. — Necessary and contingent beings. — Anantadev: expanded to serve. — Who is Adhvaita Acharya? — “Religion of the Heart”: something that is not in Chaitanya-charitamrita. — Nourishing the lotus of the heart. — Seeing through hearing. — Bhagavad-gita: how to see the Infinite. — Eternal service to the Bhagavatam is hearing. — Wives of the yagyic brahmans: heart in the right place. — Recognizing the opportunity that is before you. — Nothing should constrain the natural flow of heart. — Nectar that ruins your material life. — Have you seen Krishna?
