Yesterday one of my friends was lamenting about how hard it is to find someone that you can truly confide in. And I realize that I don't really confide in anyone at all - this is despite the fact that people confide in me often. I guess they know I'll never tell. But my confidante is none other than Kanhaji Himself. I know that might sound weird to anyone reading this but He is the easiest person to talk to, He always helps me with my problems and I know He'll never tell anyone else. Don't you think those are the qualities of an excellent confidante? I think so.
There's another side to this - people often believe that prayer is a task - something to be completed out of oblifation. But I never look at it like that. Praying to Kanhaji happens just naturally. I just talk to Him and everything seems much better. I think that is what true prayer is about - being able to just talk to Kanhaji as if He truly is a friend. And He is, He really is a true friend.
The picture I've included is one of a murti of Kanhaji eating Makhan. I know I've included several like these before and I always have a different interpretation but to be honest, when I see the pictures, every time something new strikes me. This time I think Kanhaji is eating the butter and saying to us, my lips are sealed... I will never divulge your secrets. Jai Shri Krishna!
