It is in our relationship with Krsna where we grow and where we really mature and where we really unleash our full potential. No other relationship can offer that. Other relationships may offer us so many things: all kinds of shelter- absolutely! Emotional support- absolutely! Fulfillment of our desires- absolutely! All these may be achieved and we go from one relationship into another. First the parents and all the support; the mother and all the hugs...and then we look for shelter in other relationships and again find shelter in someone's arms. All these kinds of relationships are giving us temporary shelter, temporary support, temporary relief, temporary inspiration and no hug in the world can permanently really settle our needs once and for all! Only in the relationship with Krsna do we find satisfaction...(KKSwami, 22 September 2010, Cape Town)
