This is confirmed in the Brahma-saṁhitā (5.38): premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti. #$p#As soon as a devotee sees something-be it movable or inert-he immediately remembers Kṛṣṇa. An advanced devotee is advanced in knowledge. This knowledge is very natural to a devotee, for he has already read in the Bhagavad-gītā how to awaken Kṛṣṇa consciousness. According to Lord Kṛṣṇa in the Bhagavad-gītā (7.8): #dl##dd#raso 'ham apsu kaunteya#/dd# #dd#prabhāsmi śaśi-sūryayoḥ#/dd# #dd#praṇavaḥ sarva-vedeṣu#/dd# #dd#śabdaḥ khe pauruṣaṁ nṛṣu#/dd##/dl# "O son of Kuntī [Arjuna], I am the taste of water, the light of the sun and the moon, the syllable oṁ in the Vedic mantras; I am the sound in ether and ability in man." #$p#Thus when a devotee drinks water or any other liquid, he immediately remembers Kṛṣṇa. For a devotee there is no difficulty in awakening Kṛṣṇa consciousness twenty-four hours a day. Caitanya Mahāprabhu therefore says here: #dl##dd#sthāvara jaṅgama dekhe nā dekhe tāra mūrti#/dd# #dd#sarvatra haya nija iṣṭa-deva-sphūrti#/dd##/dl# A saintly person, an advanced devotee, sees Kṛṣṇa twenty-four hours a day and nothing else. As far as movable and inert things are concerned, a devotee sees them all as transformations of Kṛṣṇa's energy. As Lord Kṛṣṇa states in the Bhagavad-gītā (7.4): #dl##dd#bhūmir āpo 'nalo vāyuḥ#/dd# #dd#khaṁ mano buddhir eva ca#/dd# #dd#ahaṅkāra itīyaṁ me#/dd# #dd#bhinnā prakṛtir aṣṭadhā#/dd##/dl# "Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego-all together these eight constitute My separated material energies." #$p#Actually nothing is separate from Kṛṣṇa. When a devotee sees a tree, he knows that the tree is a combination of two energies-material and spiritual. The inferior energy, which is material, forms the body of the tree; however, within the tree is the living entity, the spiritual spark, which is part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. This is the superior energy of Kṛṣṇa within this world. Whatever living thing we see is simply a combination of these two energies. When an advanced devotee thinks of these energies, he immediately understands that they are manifestations of the Supreme Lord. As soon as we see the sun rise in the morning, we arise and set about doing our morning duties. Similarly, as soon as a devotee sees the energy of the Lord, he immediately remembers Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. This is explained in this verse: sarvatra haya nija iṣṭa-deva-sphūrti #$p#A devotee who has purified his existence through devotional service sees only Kṛṣṇa in every step of life. This is also explained in the next verse, which is a quotation from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (11.2.45). #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXT_274"#TEXT 274#/span##/h4# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#sthāvara-jaṅgama dekhe, nā dekhe tāra mūrti#/dd# #dd#sarvatra haya nija iṣṭa-deva-sphūrti#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=sthāvara&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#sthāvara-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=jaṅgama&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#jaṅgama#/i# — movable and inert; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=dekhe&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#dekhe#/i# — he sees; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=nā&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#nā#/i# — not; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=dekhe&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#dekhe#/i# — sees; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=tāra&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#tāra#/i# — its; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=mūrti&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#mūrti#/i# — form; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=sarvatra&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#sarvatra#/i# — everywhere; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=haya&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#haya#/i# — there is; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=nija&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#nija#/i# — his own; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=iṣṭa&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#iṣṭa-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=deva&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#deva#/i# — worshipable Lord; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=sphūrti&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#sphūrti#/i# — manifestation. #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TRANSLATION"#TRANSLATION#/span##/h4# #div class="translation"# “The mahā-bhāgavata, the advanced devotee, certainly sees everything mobile and immobile, but he does not exactly see their forms.
