Taking shelter of the Internal Energy!

Verse 1.5.31: Scriptures are perfect. The description of Srila Narada muni is given here in this verse.

Is there anyone in this material world, who is happy for 1 year. No, this is itself an indication that whatever is given in scriptures like Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam is absolutely true.
But the sadhus, the mahatma's, they take shelter of the internal energy of Krishna, Srimati Radharani and therefore they are eternally happy. But when we take shelter in the external energy of Krishna, we are always in anxiety.

Sometimes people question: Is God there? Can you show me?
But the actual question is: Do we have the capacity to see God. Can we see Ghee in the milk.

God is not a order-supplier, to come before us as and when we want. He places some qualifications, that are required to see Him. We need to do sadhana, complete surrender to Guru and Krishna, follow this process and slowly we get detached from this material world and one day we will surely see Krishna eye-to-eye. That is the power of Devotional Service. Only bhakti or the bhakta's can know Him as He is.

And how do we perform bhakti:
sravanam kirtanam visnoh
smaranam pada-sevanam
aracanam vandanam dasyam
sakyam atma-nivedanam

Follow these 9 processes of devotional service. And by the mercy of Krishna alone, we will get everything in Bhakti!
