Chapter Three — […] At present we are under the sway of a different consciousness. One person is thinking that he is Indian, another is thinking that he is American, and someone else is thinking, “I am this,” or “I am that.” In this way we create so many artificial identities, but our actual identity should be, “I am Krishna’s.”

When we think in this way, we are thinking in Krishna consciousness. Only in this way can universal love among all living entities be established. Krishna is related to everyone as eternal father, and consequently when we establish a Krishna conscious relationship, we become related to everyone.

When one marries, he automatically establishes a relationship with the spouse’s family. Similarly, if we reestablish our original relationship with Krishna, we will establish our true relationship with everyone else. That is the ground for real universal love. Universal love is artificial and cannot endure unless we establish our relationship with the center.
One is American if he is born in America, and thus other Americans become members of his family, but if he is born elsewhere, he has no relationship with Americans.

On the mundane platform all relationships are relative. Our relationship with Krishna, however, is eternal and not subject to time and circumstance. When we reestablish our relationship with Krishna, the questions of universal brotherhood, justice, peace and prosperity will be answered. There is no possibility of realizing these higher ideals without Krishna. If the central point is missing, how can there be brotherhood and peace?
