“I have seen you long time back when you were trying to give
this book to someone. Why you are taking so pain to give Srimad Bhagavad
Gita..?”
“The act which seems painful to you is the actual pleasure
and treasure of the soul,” I replied gently. “Glorifying God and His teachings
is the best of all best things that could happen in anyone’s life. Those who
glorify Lord Krishna are always in eternal bliss—like Surdas Ji, Meera Bai Ji,
Vallabhacharya Ji, Narsingh Mehta Ji, Swami Haridas Ji, Raskhan Ji, Vidyapati
Ji, the Six Goswamis of Vrindavan, and Srila Prabhupada Ji, to name a few.”
“But every individual has his own likings and dislikings.
How can you say that this is the best..?”
“I will not answer this question by words,” I said softly.
“You yourself can experience. And for that, start studying Bhagavad Gita daily
and tell any one of your near and dear ones what you studied in a day. When you
will read and speak of the transcendental knowledge, the real bliss will start
manifesting—because all this is very dear to the soul inside you, who has been
transmigrating through bodies from time immemorial and has always wanted to
serve the originator, Lord Krishna. So please have this book and get your
answer.”
“But I may not understand what is there in this book, what
to speak of telling to others!”
“So here is the secret,” I continued. “Pray to the Lord for
His grace and mercy before studying Bhagavad Gita. Not only you—nobody can
understand this most confidential knowledge unless there is the mercy of God or
His representative. Ask for the mercy and start studying this scripture daily.
Then see the magic.”
A long, thoughtful silence followed.
“Try. Please try.”
Another pause, then a soft, determined reply: “Ok. Will
try.”
I am thankful to this soul for giving himself a chance to
experience the manifestation of real bliss through daily reading and sharing of
the Bhagavad Gita!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada, whose life and books
continue to show the world that glorifying Lord Krishna is the highest joy—and
the easiest path to it.
This encounter is a loving invitation to every reader who
has ever wondered, “Is glorifying Lord Krishna really the best thing?”
The soul inside us has waited lifetimes to serve and glorify
its Lord. When we read the Gita and share even one verse with another person,
we give the soul what it has always craved. The bliss that follows isn’t forced
or imagined—it manifests naturally, like sunlight after clouds part.
So if you’ve been hesitant, thinking “I may not understand”
or “How can I share?”, follow this simply:
Pray for mercy first.
Read even one verse daily.
Tell someone what moved you.
Watch the magic unfold. The best of all best acts is in the
quiet turning of a page and the gentle speaking of Lord Krishna’s name.
Have you ever tried reading a little of the Gita daily and
sharing a thought with someone? Or felt that inner bliss begin to rise when you
glorified Lord Krishna in words or song? Share your experience below—your “I
will try” story may be exactly what someone needs to hear today.
More real-life moments of surrender and bliss coming soon,
all building toward a book filled with these sacred invitations to glorify the
Supreme. Keep glorifying—Lord Krishna makes it the easiest, happiest path.
