SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 18 Text 46

yatah pravrttir bhutanam yena sarvam idam tatam sva-karmanatam abhyarcya siddhim vindati manavah

yatah--from whom; pravrttih--the emanation; bhutanam--of all living entities; yena--by whom; sarvam--all; idam--this; tatam--is pervaded; sva-karmana--by his own duties; tam--Him; abhyarcya--by worshiping; siddhim--perfection; vindati--achieves; manavah--a man.

TRANSLATION

By worship of the Lord, who is the source of all beings and who is all-pervading, a man can attain perfection through performing his own work.

JOURNAL:

Srila Prabhupada writes in his purport; Generally the Vaisnava devotees worship the Supreme Lord with His internal energy. His external energy is a perverted reflectionof the internal energy. The external energy is a background, but the Supreme Lord by the expansion of His plenary portion as Paramatma is situated everywhere. He is the Supersoul of all demigods, all human beings, all animals, everywhere.

Remembering Srila Prabhupada's teaching here is the key for me. As I see the world around me in this way, so I see Krishna.
