...and it was the best two weeks of my life, driving out in a van they gave me from the temple that had no heat. I found out halfway down the turnpike, but Krishna arranged for everything. Those who take to Krishna Consciousness, Krishna says, “teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ taṁ yena mām upayānti te" (BG 10.10). I have a very intimate relationship with every one of you. He said, "I’m in your heart, and if you want to know me, if you sincerely inquire, I’ll give you full intelligence on how you can come to me. I will illuminate your heart. “teṣām evānukampārtham aham ajñāna-jaṁ tamaḥ nāśayāmy ātma-bhāva-stho jñāna-dīpena bhāsvatā” (BG 10.11). “I’ll light up a lamp in your heart,” he said. “I’ll destroy the ignorance, the darkness for you.” So we could understand from this pastime of Krishna’s appearance, this Janamashtami pastime, when He comes, that He’s demonstratively showing Himself to the world. “anugrahāya bhaktānāṁ mānuṣaṁ deham āsthitaḥ” (SB 10.33.36). He specifically comes and shows that He’s here and fully available to every one of you, and that if you sincerely take to the process of devotional service, you can come to know Him.
