Love is devotion, and so is Bhakti — and Krishna is the very embodiment of love. Even though he never had Radha beside him in the physical sense, and though he was adored and charmed by countless women, he remained the austere yogi, the Purna Avatar of Vishnu — complete within himself.
What is Gyan? Gyana is knowing the truth of existence — that’s it! Gyana is accepting life as it is because you know the whole cosmos is run through Dharma (cosmic law), and we all are just instrumental, like actors playing on stage the roles given to us. They have nothing of their own, nor are they in a position to decide anything ever.
No, there is no conflict between Gyana Yoga and Karma Yoga! I’ll discuss this topic elaborately some other time, but here I’d like to write something on Krishna.but for now, I wish to dwell on Krishna.
The Gopis desired Krishna, and he responded to their longing as a friend and companion. Krishna, however, desired only Radha — yet he had many wives: Rukmini, Satyabhama, Jambavati, and others. What is marriage, after all? It is an alliance — a partnership between two individuals, families, or even nations — meant for mutual growth and the fulfillment of shared purposes.
But with Radha, Krishna transcended all social or spiritual contracts. He needed no norms, no vows. With Radha, authenticity itself was the bond. Whatever we may pretend outwardly, the being within us knows the truth. There is no deception there. Likewise, Radha and Krishna, though appearing as two beings in the three-dimensional world, are one essence in the higher plane (5-D)— two bodies, one soul.
Where is this so-called 5th dimension? There are no extra realms “out there” waiting to be discovered by science. Everything exists within you. The truth is inward. No technology, no spiritual mechanism can lead you there — it unfolds only through inner realization. It is a journey of evolution in reverse — an evolve-back process, where you return to the core and dissolve the last reminiscent of karma.
So, whatever they say about 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th dimensions — that you can be an engineer, doctor, and singer all together in different dimensions — seems like a fantasy novel. However, it’s not entirely false, but how they interpret it shows their entrapment in mind-conceived logic, which always has limitations. And with this limited knowledge, if you think you can traverse beyond the 3rd dimension, it’s a fallacy of your logical mind. I will speak of this more in time, as it’s all experiential — and I have literally touched those dimensions.
For God’s sake, you don’t need to be some known figure or successful personality to receive that grace. You just need to be yourself-pure, unconditional and whole! Again, reiterating — Being Yourself is a state of being, not becoming, through any spiritual practices.
Love is left behind when Gyana and Karma take charge. Krishna celebrated every part of life — whether it was suffering continuous wars with Jarasandha, running away from Kalayavana, abandoning Mathura, separation from Radha, or living under death threats since childhood. Through every trial and triumph, he remained joyous. None around him could sense the storms he silently endured. Like a child, he laughed and danced with the Gopis, but was never attached to anyone, because he was forever attached to Radha — his twin flame — who resided within him.
Krishna is not confined to gender — he is not he or she. Krishna is a consciousness, a principle, a timeless character that transcends form.
Have you ever wondered why the world adores the child Kanha more than the mighty ruler of Dwarka? Why the lover, the playful cowherd, outshines the strategist and statesman? It is because the human heart still values Bhakti over Gyana.
The problem is, people take bhakti as an escapist route — to get rid of their responsibilities and to seek easy living. That’s where it gets corrupted. I don’t understand how love can be fulfilled, or how the journey of twin flames can be completed, without accomplishing their purpose of birth.
That is where Karma Yoga enters — to act with awareness and to know yourself through the very flow of life. When you realize this truth, you find Krishna within. You no longer need to worship anyone else, for the divine has already found its home in you.
