Sri Krsna, Non-dual reality

The fundamental essence of all being (sentient and insentient) is singular. It is a mass of consciousness who's centre is everywhere and its circumference is nowhere. That mass of consciousness is a singular entity which consists of all possibility, all potentiality, and all creative and experiential capacity.

 Although it is one it contains within it, an infinite variety of energies. The energies allow the non-dual singular reality to experience a variety of experience, variety of perspective, variety of finitude or infinitude.  The energy and energetic are one and the same, the only difference being the energy has a source within the energetic, whereas the energetic is its own source.

After a detailed study of the Vedic scriptures, one will understand that the ultimate reality is this non-dual essence. This reality is greatly different from the western theological perspective on the ultimate reality known as God, purely dualistic and separate from all his creation.  Instead, the Vedic sages referred to it as Godhead, the Atman, or Brahman.

Within Brahman are infinite individual sparks of consciousness known as jivatmas or personalities of Godhead, The jivatma is a pencil ray spark of divine substance with the capacity to experience both the external material realm, as well as the infinite non-dual realm of the heart.  However, hidden deeply in the vast infinite light of Brahman plays a deep secret known as Bhagavan or the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Bhagavan is the totality personified; He is beyond the capacity and potential of any other sentient eternal entity due to his inconceivable potencies. He is the infinite individual, a complete contradiction, and the penultimate conception of reality. When both aspects of impersonal and personal come together at their highest potential, then the ultimate reality can be known, that is Bhagavata tattva.

All things originate from Bhagavan, all things rest in Bhagavan, all things are pervaded by Bhagavan, yet he remains aloof, completely independent and eternally free. He has unlimited incarnations, expansions, sub expansions, and separated expansions.

 What the materialists know as the universe, time, space, and elements are only his external manifestations. What the Jnanis know as the Self is only a pencil ray of his effulgence. What the Yogi knows as the higher self is his localized expansion.

Only the Bhakta, flooded with prema or transcendental love, blessed by hladini Sakti, the embodiment of love, and endowed with transcendental vision, can perceive the ultimate reality in full.
Although there are infinite Bhagavana manifestations which can be seen via the medium of strictly following the rules and regulations of social engagement, ritualistic sacrifice, devotional penance, and Devotional service motivated by fear of punishment.
Still, there is one who is their original self, their very soul. He is attainable only through unalloyed devotion, without fear, or desire for liberation.  He is most attracted to the love perfected by the cowherd people of Vrndavana, who have no idea he is the supreme non-dual reality but sees him merely as their greatest master, friend, son, husband or lover.

He is known as Sri Krsna, he is the embodiment of Non-duality, and he is the hero of Life. He is “The Supreme Personality of Godhead”.
