What can we learn from the prayer of Gopikas to Krishna? How should our every day prayer be? Bhagawan lovingly guides us and inspires us today.

Devotees should develop one-pointed concentration. There is no need to go in search of God who is omnipresent. If devotees develop Prema netra (a loving vision) they can have the vision of the Divine within themselves. Just as no seed can sprout without rain and without seeds no rain can produce a crop, the devotee must sow seeds of Namasmarana (chanting the Lord’s name) and develop devotion with the help of the shower of grace from the Divine. This was the prayer of Gopikas to Krishna that he should water their parched hearts by the flow of love from His flute. Gopikas prayed to Krishna to play on His s flute such that the essence of Vedas flowed out of it as melodious music. Everyone should try to convert the body into a flute for the Divine to make His music flow through it. The body should be made a fit instrument for such music. Then it becomes a means to serve others. The best way to love God is to love all, serve all.
