What Matters is the Contact with Krishna

These questions and the speculations to which they have given

rise have no indispensable connection with the spiritual life. There

what matters is the contact with Krishna and the growth towards

the Krishna consciousness, the presence, the spiritual relation, the

union in the soul and, till that is reached, the aspiration, the

growth in bhakti and whatever illumination one can get on the

way.

To one who has had these things, lived in the presence, heard the

voice, known Krishna as Friend or Lover, Guide, Teacher, Master

or, still more, has had his whole consciousness changed by the

contact, or felt the presence within him, all such questions have

only an outer and superficial interest.
