How can we become like Lord Krishna?

‘We’ in the sense of separate individualities can never become fully like Shri Krishna, who is infinitely beyond us. But we can become more and more like Shri Krishna by attuning our consciousness to Him. This will cause us to naturally imbibe some of his qualities.

On top of that, fill your awareness with Krishna as much as you can, in the ways that feel right to you. Repeat His name(s) in your mind, sometimes also out loud. Worship Him with real devotion, however that devotion can best express itself. Surrender to His feet and cling to them as your anchor. The more that Shri Krishna is lively and joyful in your consciousness, the more like Him you will become.

Lord Krishna is like a huge ocean and the souls being parts and parcels of Him can be considered as a drop of water of that ocean. Qualitatively we can be like Him, just like in terms of quality a drop of ocean has same characteristics that of the huge Ocean. But quantitatively we can NEVER be like him because in front of huge Ocean a drop of water is negligible.

Who is Krishna?

Krishna describes who He is in Bhagavad Gita.

He is the origin and dissolution of everything both material and spiritual, and the origin of all living beings. He is the basis of the brahman and the personification of eternal Time.

He is the taste of water, the light of the sun and the moon, the syllable om, the sound in ether and ability in man. He is the original fragrance of the earth, the heat in fire, the life of all that lives, the penances of all ascetics.

He is the creator of intelligence, knowledge, freedom from doubt and delusion, forgiveness, truthfulness, control of the senses, control of the mind, happiness and distress, birth, death, fear, fearlessness, nonviolence, equanimity, satisfaction, austerity, charity, fame and infamy.

He is the possessor of infinite beauty, knowledge, wealth, fame, strength and renunciation. He is the cause of all causes, the first progenitor, one without a second, He is not subject to decay, is without a beginning, His form is endless.

He is the transcendental entity of ever-blissful cognitive rasa, the absolute substantive principle being the ultimate entity who supports all existence. He is the origin and maintainer of the external potency that embodies the threefold mundane qualities, sattva, rajas, and tamas which makes all universal manifestations possible.

He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, son of Mother Yashoda and Nanda Maharaja, brother of Balarama, beloved of Radharani, friend of Shridama. He has inconceivable innumerable attributes, and his pure devotees see Him in their heart of hearts with the eye of devotion tinged with the salve of love.

He is God with a capital G, and the origin of all other gods who exist only within the material world. He is obtainable by pure unalloyed devotion and possesses the form of a beautiful youth.

Here are some excerpts from the Bhagavad Gita, and how you can use them to resolve your own uncertainties, doubts, fears and confusions.

1.   Think with a calm mind. Lord Krishna said: ...

2.   Give up on results. ...

3.   Treat everyone equally. ...

4.   Don't give in to stress. ...

5.   Be ready for change. ...

6.   Act with conviction. ...

7. Set high standards. 

There are lot of things to learn from Sri Krishna ‘s life and teaching. Our goal is to be perfect. Practicing even one of the many points, can bring us closer to perfection. He has no duty to perform nor he has to gain anything (because he already has everything) yet he does things, just to set an example. Here are a few points:

1.   Be Unselfish towards all.

2.   Be detached. Do not crave for results. Be devoted to your work.

3.   Make your friends/people you meet outgrow their weaknesses.

4.   Stick to a philosophy in your life and adhere to it always. That's your dharma.

5.   Maintain every relationship with heart not head.

Learn essence of holy incidents, not incident!

Both Lord Rama & Lord Krishna were same, acted differently according to situations. This corresponds to us also. One cannot be same every time. One needs to act according to situation!

Always remember in life: Every situation demands you!

Becoming like Lord is a demonic mentality demonstrated by demons in past like Ravana and Hiranyakashyap but all was futile.

What to speak about you nobody in this world can become like Krishna because he is God, and we are controlled by material laws while he is controller of material laws.

we can’t even control our age, our death, birth and diseases which functions according to material nature while he is controller of material nature.

He never punishes anybody; we get reactions for our own sins and we blame God because you are putting problems in my life

So just try to be a good devotee of Lord rather than trying to become like him you we more blissful and happier than.

So, our love and devotion should be selfless, without expecting anything from lord. When you will have this love, Lord Krishna will himself give his divine love to you!

No one can truly become like someone else. It is best to admire Krishna and to honor him in our treatment of others.
