Biodiversity in Bhakti Yoga

When one is completely in knowledge of ahaṁ brahmāsmi, he thinks, “I am part of the Supreme Lord, my body is made of His material energy, and therefore I have no separate existence. Yet although the Supreme Lord is spread everywhere, He is different from me.” This is the philosophy of acintya-bhedābheda-tattva. An example given in this regard is that of the aroma within the earth. In the earth there are aromas and colors, but one cannot see them. Actually we find that when flowers grow from the earth, they appear with different colors and aromas, which they have certainly gathered from the earth, although in the earth we cannot see them. Similarly, the Supreme Lord, by His different energies, spreads throughout one’s body and soul, although we cannot see Him. An intelligent man, however, can see the Supreme Lord existing everywhere. Aṇḍāntara-stha-paramāṇu-cayāntara-stham: (BS 5.35) the Lord is within the universe and within the atom by His different energies. This is the real vision of the Supreme Lord for the intelligent man.
(SB 7.9.35 purport)

Srila Prabhupada said, “Simply by remembering this picture, that is perfection. Because we need to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. We should constantly think of Kṛṣṇa. If you think of Him in any way, that is your perfection. ‘Smartavyaḥ satataṁ viṣṇuḥ’ (Padma Purāṇa).”
