How does it ring true to you? What convinces you of the truth of your Gods? When it comes to love, I find that love binds many things together however most things are not bound by it. Some things are bound together by other emotions such as fear, hate, vality, and ambition. Most things are incapable of feeling anything because they are inanimate objects and have nothing to do with it. I have a question. Is Krishna a representation or reality to you?
Krishna is a name that represents reality, whatever that is. Krishna represents infinity, eternity and Love.
I feel a special connection with Krishna, as an avatar. But I can admit that I do not know what reality is. I simply have my feelings, my own style of logic, my subjective experiences and the way that my eyes see the world. It may be an illusion, but I often feel that this reality that I perceive is the only one that matters to me. It's the one I choose to pursue, in the hopes of discovering its reality. So I am not an adamant believer at all. I'm a seeker in many ways.
I do feel that Love binds everything. Or perhaps this is bad wording. To explain a little, Love (with the capital), is that connection we have to everything. Even in science, to some extent, there is this knowledge that everything is connected. Love is union. But love (without capital) is our glimpse into that union. I believe that fear and hate and ambition all stem from Love. It's like my sig says: the opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
This idea of Love, that is probably the one thing that I absolutely do believe in, is why I choose Krishna. He is the only God concept that so completely embodies my experience of reality. And my religion, Hinduism (Sanatan Dharma) is the journey of realising our complete Oneness with everything. It is to dive completely into Love.
I hope that makes sense
