Multiple appearances of the supreme being
The Lord appears in multiple forms - in all kinds of wordly elements. Worldly elements i mean - plants, animals, Human being, sound, water etc. Regarding plants, tulasi is the manifestation of divinity. By properly worshipping and caring of the Tulasi plant, one can get the desire for attaining Bhagavan and also increase the probability of meeting Sri Bhagavan's own men wandering in this planet in disguise. Cow is also an emblem of divinity. Go-seva is very prominent as a method for cleansing consciousness in Braj mandal (Mathura-Vrindavan). Be caring for the cow and showering affection, ones lost love for Sri Krishna can be awakened. The seven holy rivers of India have immense potential to cleanse our inner being and arouse the urge to get out of this miserable world. 'Gangeca, yamune caiva, Godavari Saraswati, narmade sindhu cauvery Jale smin sannidhim kuru' goes a famous sanskrit verse. By bathing in these holy rivers one can have immense benefit. It is better to plan ones vacation in proximity to these holy rivers. The Lord has appeared in the form of his sweet names in the sound form. The Hare Krishna mahamantra is the prominent sound manifestation of Adhoksaja - the universal consciousness.
But all of the above manifestations (Plant, animal, water, sound) are static, in the sense they are inactive. We cannot converse or talk to them. Hence the Lord Sri Krishna appears in the most powerful manifestation in the form of a human being as Sri Guru. Coming in contact with the static manifestations of Bhagavan, one accumulates sukrti which increase the probability of meeting the Human manifestation of the Lord - Sri Guru. Sri Guru mercifully gives the mantra and awakens our eternal identity thru the Diksha process. He also arranges for Sravanam and Kirtanam by manifesting sweet Harikatha, which waters the seed of the eternal identity. Lets all take advantage of all these wonderful manifestations of the Supreme being Sri Krishna and get ready to get out of this miserable place and become qualified to enter the Land of Love - Sri Vrindavan.
