Description

Acharya Prashant explains the apparent contradiction between Shri Krishna being omnipresent and his statement about manifesting only when righteousness declines. He clarifies that Shri Krishna exists as the dimensionless center of the mind, untouched by the dualities of virtue or vice, much like the center of a circle remains unaffected by the colors within it. While Shri Krishna is always present as the ultimate source and the goal toward which all mental movement is directed, his manifestation becomes most apparent when the mind is farthest from its center. Using the analogy of simple harmonic motion, he describes how the pull toward peace and truth is strongest when evil is at its peak, making the manifestation appear episodic to those experiencing suffering.
