We are Always Dependent on Krishna

Radhanath Swami

When he is pleased with us, he can endow us with the powers. But if we become proud, if we think it is my power, if we start to try to enjoy the glory which comes, through whatever Krishna has given us, then Krishna who is independent may anytime by his mercy withdraw it and even if we are a greatest tapasvi, he can make it so that we cannot even control the grossest temptations of our mind and senses. Even though we are brilliant scholars, Krishna can make us a fool within a second. Krishna can take away our power to speak, our power to sing, our power to see, our power to walk, our power to breath because we are always dependent on Krishna.
