Non-Kṛṣṇa

Image
„ When we speak of non- Kṛṣṇa , or desire which has no connection with  Kṛṣṇa , this does not mean that anything exists without  Kṛṣṇa . Actually there cannot be anything "non-Kṛṣṇa" because everything is a product of the energy of  Kṛṣṇa . Since  Kṛṣṇa  and His energies are identical, everything is  Kṛṣṇa  indirectly. For example, consciousness is common to every living entity, but when consciousness is purely centered on  Kṛṣṇa  ( Kṛṣṇa  consciousness), it is pure, and when consciousness is centered on something other than  Kṛṣṇa , or when it is directed to sense gratification, it may be called non- Kṛṣṇa  consciousness. Thus it is in the polluted state that the conception of non- Kṛṣṇa  comes. In the pure state, however, there is nothing but  Kṛṣṇa  consciousness. ” Teachings of Lord Caitanya – 1968.
