ye yathā māṁ prapadyante

mama vartmānuvartante

manuṣyāḥ pārtha sarvaśaḥ

“As   all surrender unto Me, I reward them accordingly…” [BG 4.11]

Krishna will reciprocate accordingly to how we approach him. If we meditate on him as being the supreme Brahman, he will respond as the supreme Brahman. If we approach him as parmatma, he will respond as parmatma. And if we approach him as the supreme personality of godhead, he will most definitely respond to us as the supremely sweet and great Personality of Godhead, Krishna.

brahmeti paramātmeti bhagavān iti śabdyate  [SB 1.2.11]

Krishna reciprocates to all we think, feel and do. He may or may not do it quickly, may or may not do it individually, may or may not do it wholesale. But he surely will. Even the apparent absence of reciprocation is a special kind of reciprocation that intensifies the desire to receive such divine interjection. Just like a poor man who has gained some wealth and then lost it, and who thus becomes so anxious about it that he can think of nothing else.

It’s all only a matter of whether we realise he’s reciprocating or not.

Once the realisation comes, only by the mercy of great souls, does one become speechless and intensely grateful by all the moments that have come in the past, are happening in the present and will come in the future.

I pray, pray for all, to get the experience of such reciprocations as per our unique tastes.
