Test KC 4

How should one interpret the coming forth of Krishna when righteousness is on decline? Does this statement have any significance at an individual level, or is it said in the social context?

Also, in Christianity it is believed that Jesus will come again on the judgement day. Please help me understand what all this means.

Acharya Prashant (AP): Krishna is always present as the very source of existence. Or you could say, within men as the centre of mind. That’s how Krishna is always present. Just as irrespective of what is happening within a circle, the circle will nevertheless always have a centre. The circle might be black, the circle might be painted blue or yellow. The centre remains present and the centre remains untouched and uncoloured. Greatly virtuous deeds are taking place within the circle. Those greatly virtuous deeds have nothing to do with the centre; the centre remains as it is. Evil acts are taking place within the circle; the centre remains untouched.

In some sense, the centre does not even exist. The moment you try to point at the centre, you have pointed at something tangible and the centre of the circle is not tangible at all. Even though it is the centre of the circle, yet it is in another dimension compared to the circle. The circle can be drawn, seen, filled up, and the centre is absolutely untouchable. A circle has dimensions, and the centre is dimensionless.
