Using Kanhaji's strength

Kanhaji knows when we need Him the most and He responds and lends us His strength. Too often I hear people say that God is cruel. That is not true. God, Kanhaji, knows what is best for us. He gives us what we need when we need it. He cares for us. He keeps us happy in the long term. Even if we cannot see the end result, He can and He always takes care of us. We have to trust in Him and believe in Him and pray to Him for help even in interpreting His word. Many of us are not fortunate enough to be able to read the original text of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita and instead we rely on translations. That has also happened to me. I rely on the translations of others and I hope that when I read their translations I do not interpret things incorrectly. English is an odd language sometimes - many words have different meanings and intonation changes everything sometimes. So, reading the Srimad Bhagavad Gita should also be something that we pray to Kanhaji about. He will infuse His true meaning into our reading if we do. So that our interpretation and our carrying out of His word will both be accurate. We can use Kanhaji's strength in other ways - we can ask Him to guide us in everything that we do in life. We can remember Him and talk to Him throughout our day. We can call on Him and this is a strength. Being able to call on Kanhaji means that we are able to lean on Him, to share our burdens with Him and to be closer to Him. Both pictures illustrate Kanhaji's strength - Kanhaji sitting on Balarama to get the makhan is a display of his baby strength and of Balarama's love for Kanhaji - so much so that he let Kanhaji win! Then in the other picture Radharani is leaning on Kanhaji who holds her effortlessly. She is truly leaning on Him with the absolute confidence that He will support her and love her always. Kanhaji, please help us all to remember that You are the strongest being in the universe. You created all and You are all. You will always be with us and please help us to remember to lean on You. Jai Shri Krishna!
