Lord Krishna

 patraḿ puṣpaḿ phalaḿ toyaḿ

yo me bhaktyā prayacchati
tad ahaḿ bhakty-upahṛtam
aśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ
[Bg. 9.26]

"My devotees..." God is not... The Lord is not in need of our offering, but still, He is so kind, if we offer Him something...Patraḿ puṣpaḿ phalaḿ toyam.Not that we have to offer him very luxurious things, very high valuable things. He says that even a piece of leaf,patraḿ,a piece of flower,patraḿ puṣpam,a piece of fruit and little water... That means these four things can be secured by any poor man in any part of the world. There is no botheration for securing a piece of leaf, a piece of flower or a little water or a piece of fruit. Any poor man, any rich man, can secure. And the Lord says,patraḿ puṣpaḿ phalaḿ toyaḿ yo me bhaktyā prayacchati:[Bg. 9.26] "Anyone who offers Me these four things with devotion, with love, I accept them. I accept them." Why? Now,tad ahaḿ bhaktyā upahṛtam aśnāmi."Because that is secured with sincere love for Me." The Lord accepts our love. Now, the Lord is... You cannot see Him. He is far, far away, and still, He is within us. Therefore His hands is not like our hands. TheVedas...When theVedasdescribes, "The Lord has no hands," that means He has no hand like ours, not that a two-feet hands which we have got, or two or three-feet hands, not this hand. His hand is so large that He can extend His hand in any part of His creation, millions and billions miles away, and everywhere. That is the specific significance of His body. So this is described here.

ańgāni yasya sakalendriya-vṛtti-manti
paśyanti pānti kalayanti ciraḿ jaganti
ānanda-cinmaya-sadujjvala-vigrahasya
govindam ādi-puruṣaḿ tam ahaḿ bhajāmi
[Bs. 5.32]

And another special significance of the parts of His body, limbs or hands or legs, eyes, ears... What is that significance? Now, each part of His body has got all the potencies of other parts of the body. Just like with our eyes we can simply see. But the Lord, He can not only see by His eyes, transcendental eyes, but He can also hear, He can also eat. All the... All the functions of all other parts of the body, He function by any part of His body, not that a particular part of the body can function only for a particular purpose, no. Just like simply by glancing... In the Vedic literature it is said,sa aikṣata sa asṛjata:"Simply by seeing, simply by seeing, He impregnated all the energies for creating, simply by seeing."Mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram[Bg. 9.10].Simply by His glance. Simply by His glance He impregnates the material energy for functioning. It is going on. So He has got all the potencies in all the parts of His body.Ańgāni yasya sakalendriya-vṛtti-manti paśyanti pānti kalayanti[Bs. 5.32].That is the difference between His body and our body. So when there is description in theVedasthat "He has no leg, no hand, no eyes, "that does not mean He has no eyes. He has got eyes, but not these eyes just like we have got conception. So here it is explained thatańgāni yasya sakalendriya-vṛtti-manti[Bs. 5.32].His parts of the body are invested with all the potencies of other parts of the body. With any part of His body He can function any work.

(SingsBrahma-saḿhitā,verses 32-35, 37, 38, 29)Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti[Bs. 5.38].Now, people say that "Whether God can be seen? If anyone has seen God?" Yes, God can be seen. There is no doubt about it. But it requires some qualifications. Not some, but only one qualification. God is so kind that He does not require any material qualification. He does not require that you should be very learned man, very beautiful, or very rich man, or a king or emperor or minister or president, no, nothing of the sort. You can be anything. But only one qualification required. Then you can see God. What is that qualification? (Sings:)Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti[Bs. 5.38].That qualification is unalloyed love. That's all. One who has achieved that unalloyed, unalloyed love for God... Unalloyed love means without any tinge of philosophical speculation or fruitive activity. That's another subject. It requires great explanation. But unalloyed love means without any tinge of material color. (indistinct) That is called unalloyed. Even philosophical speculation or fruitive activities, if it is offered to the Supreme Lord, that is not love. Love is above this. So if one can achieve that unalloyed love for God, with that, I mean to say, magic wand, the eye becomes eligible for seeing God.Premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena[Bs. 5.38].And that, that eye, is called devotional eye, devotional. We have to... Not only eyes, but every part of our body, we have to spiritualize by the contact. By the contact of spiritual service in devotion of the Lord, we can gradually spiritualize our whole act of senses. Just like a iron rod put into the fire. Gradually the temperature rises. It becomes warm, warmer, warmest, very hot, then red hot. When it is red hot, then it is no longer iron; it is fire. Similarly, by our contact in devotional service of the Lord we can change the whole position of our material existence. And we have... If we have developed to that state of unalloyed love for God, then God can be seen twenty-four hours, not that once seen and again not seen. No. This is described here, thatsantaḥ,the great devotees, unalloyed devotees, who are liberated souls, have no connection with material activities or philosophical speculation, such unalloyed devotees, because their eyes are smeared with the ointment of love only, therefore they can see the Lordsadaiva,always, twenty-four hours.
