Metaphysical Insight into Srddha faith

-

 

Why do we believe in what is invisible?
Why do we feel Kṛṣṇa, rasa-līlā, or divine presence, though not seen with eyes?

1. You already believe in many invisible things

You don’t see:

  • air

  • gravity

  • love

  • thoughts

  • consciousness

  • intelligence

  • sound waves

  • prāṇa

Yet you experience them.
Experience proves reality — not visibility.

So invisibility is not a valid objection to reality.

The question is only:
Do you have an instrument that can perceive it?

2. Physical eyes cannot see metaphysical reality

Eyes see only:

  • form

  • color

  • boundaries

  • gross matter

But God is not matter.
Rasa-līlā is not matter.
Bhakti is not matter.
They are aprakṛta — real, but not made of the 5 elements.

So using eyes to “test” God is like using ears to see color.

Wrong instrument → wrong conclusion.

3. śraddhā = the inner organ that perceives the invisible

This is the key connection.

You need eyes to see form.
You need ears to hear sound.
You need śraddhā to perceive the invisible divine.

Śraddhā is not belief.
It is a citta-sense, a metaphysical organ created by Kṛṣṇa so the soul can perceive Him.

Just as air is felt by skin,
God is felt by śraddhā.

4. Why do we trust air? Because we feel its effect.

Even though you cannot see air, you trust:

  • breath

  • movement

  • coolness

  • warmth

  • pressure

  • fragrance

Effect → proves the cause.

Exactly the same with Kṛṣṇa and rasa-līlā.

You cannot “see” rasa-līlā with eyes,
but you can feel:

  • purity

  • softness of heart

  • melting of ego

  • disappearance of lust

  • rising joy

  • inner spaciousness

  • clarity of life

The effect proves the reality.

5. śraddhā is the bridge between invisible God and visible experience

Śraddhā activates a perception field in the heart that allows:

  • rasa to descend

  • sacred meanings to appear

  • invisible realities to become experientially real

  • the heart-disease (kāma) to be removed

Without śraddhā, rasa-līlā looks like mythology.
With śraddhā, rasa-līlā becomes darśana — revelation.

6. The gopīs themselves had no “visible” God before them

Kṛṣṇa vanished during Rāsa-līlā.
They continued to search for Him purely by śraddhā.
And that śraddhā invoked God’s return.

So even in the līlā itself:
God becomes visible only to those whose śraddhā is burning inside.

7. Final answer: Why do we believe in the invisible?

Because:

(1) The soul is built to perceive what the eyes cannot.
(2) Śraddhā is the instrument for perceiving the divine.
(3) Invisible things still have visible effects.
(4) Rasa-līlā reveals itself only to the heart aligned by śraddhā.
(5) God chooses invisibility so He can be approached through love, not force.

Maniratnam, Raavanan and Ramayana

-
Last week the movie Ravanan got released in multiple languages – Hindi, tamil, telugu. Its a ManiRatnam magnum opus scripted around the character of Ravana – the ten headed villain in Hindu epic Ramayana. Its about exploring the ten different characters in the same person and how they interact, conflict each other. Is it like a multiple personality disorder? I don’t know – haven’t seen the movie. There is a recent spate of movies based on our holy epics. If Rajneeti by Prakash Jha was a take on Mahabharatha, Mani’s version is inspired by Ramayana. In fact this is a first take on Ramayan being used as base for modern day story telling. Mani has to be credited for his creativity and for going in the direction of unexplored waters. What are these epics? Are they just stories, fables or reality? What makes them holy?

How to Understand God's Unpaid Servants

How to Understand God's Unpaid Servants: The Glories of Serving the Lord In the realm of divine service, unpaid servants of God exemplify selfless dedication. They receive no salary, no worldly compensation, yet their hearts overflow with fulfillment. Why? Service to God is not a burden but a wellspring of joy. The act itself becomes the reward, as divine service expands the ocean of bliss— anandambudhi vardhanam . This unique experience transcends ordinary mortal understanding. God's servants, being His amsas (fragments), share in His supreme bliss. Service invigorates the soul, akin to tapta jivanam —life-giving nectar. It is not servitude but divine connection, a celebration of love that enriches and uplifts eternally. ----------------------------------------- O Krsna, master of amorous pleasure, O bestower of benedictions, we are Your unpaid maidservants. You are killing us by the glance of Your eyes that steal even the proud beauty of the whorl of supremely enchanting, hi...

How to develop Drshta or seer vision and remain unaffected?

The Supersoul’s Silent Gaze: A Metaphysical Odyssey Everywhere means all places, a tapestry woven with the threads of the supersoul’s cognizance, where not even an inch escapes its silent, all-seeing embrace. The so-called bhalo/manda, the dance of good and bad, unfolds within this boundless expanse, yet it is the supreme soul that permeates every ripple of existence. This strange world, a kaleidoscope of fleeting illusions, swirls with nonsense—joys and sorrows, triumphs and terrors—all playing out in a virtual prakosht, a cosmic stage where dualities exist side by side. The supersoul, ever-present, watches as the drashta, the eternal witness, untouched by the chaos of material realms, inviting us to leap into its serene perspective through abhyasena vairagyena, the practice of detachment. In this sacred shift, we touch the essence of mad bhavam aagatah, aligning with the divine vision that sees all yet remains unstained. Beneath the surface of this turbulent dream, it’s all feelings ...
