Krishna – the ‘All Attractive’

Krishna explains in Bhagavad-Gita that all beautiful things within this world are but tiny sparks of His beauty. The name ‘Krishna’ means ‘all attractive’, ‘supremely attractive.’ The reason the soul is attracted to things or people of this world is because they are emanating from Krishna, the supremely, all encompassing attractive. One time, our Gurudev Srila Prabhupada was on the beach of the Pacific Ocean.  There, seeing the beautiful sunset, someone said, “Isn’t this a beautiful sunset!” And Srila Prabhupada replied, “If you think that the art is beautiful, you should see the artist! This is just the spark of His beauty.”
