The idea behind the Gayatri Mantra is to see Krishna behind everything.
That’s the first meditation, the Gayatri Mantra step by step, meditation on the Supreme Lord.
The first step of the meditation, is to appreciate, that Krishna is behind everything!
So we see everywhere, all of Krishna and this is how we are trained to see - to see from the Srimad Bhagavatam.
Wherever we look we see Krishna - Then how can we ever think that Krishna is far away!
