Keep playing ‘king’. The REAL One doesn’t need a Crown – just His Flute.
This is a reflection on power, death, and the invisible axis of consciousness
In this article, when I say ‘they’ you will know who I am talking about. I am not taking names (yet); here we go: They build towers that touch the sky. They launch rockets into space, as if to defy heaven. They buy voices, own networks, install kings. And for a moment, it seems – they can and will “rule” the world. WE helplessly accept that powerful narrative. But ‘they’ are mistaken and so are we. Deeply. Profoundly.
Not because their wealth is false. Not because their reach is shallow. But because they have no idea what holds it all together. And whether they deliberately choose to ignore that obvious or really don’t carry the intelligence to grasp these nuances of the creation – I am not sure. But I am sure of one thing – that these ‘they’ have never glimpsed the axis of consciousness. They have never bowed to the Lord of Time. They do not know the Supreme Lord Krishna.
When Arrogance Mistakes Itself for Authority
“Avajānanti māṁ mūḍhāḥ mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritam…”
“Fools deride Me when I appear in human form. They do not know My transcendental nature.”
— Bhagavad Gita 9.11
It is very evident in the Gita that the world is not ruled by presidents or tycoons. It is not controlled by algorithms or armies. It is not held up by billionaires, rocket fuel, or secret apps that wreak havoc in people’s lives. The world is sustained by The Supreme consciousness. And this Super Consciousness bows to none but Itself – its Own Source.
The rulers of today – the Musks, the Trumps, the emperors of yuan and dollar and Soroses of the world – they rise like the smoke on a windy day, carried not by glory, but by illusion. And anyone who can see through this smokescreen will never be enamored by the maya glitz and glamor, nor will they choose such fallen sparks of the Original Flame to be their ‘heroes’. These billionaires who exude their power to influence and control the world, may own satellites, but they have no control over nor can buy with all their billions a SINGLE second more than Time allows. They may control markets, but not a heartbeat.
They may silence external voices, but not the voice within.
History mocks the Arrogant!
- Alexander the Great conquered half the world – and then wept. He died at 32 in a very sad state and health.
- Hitler dreamed of a thousand-year Reich. It crumbled in 12 years. He died by his own hand, with none by his side.
- Napoleon crowned himself the emperor – only to be exiled, defeated by both armies and illness.
- Stalin ruled with creating fear and using it as a weapon – but he couldn’t stop his own body from revolting against him.
- Every Pharaoh, Caesar, and modern autocrat – no matter how sophisticated – has lost to the Ultimate Energy of Time.
They all DIED invariably. Their empires have now became museum exhibits. And their legacies became cautionary tales. The Supreme Lord Krishna declared it simply:
“kālo ’smi loka-kṣhaya-kṛit pravṛiddho…”
“I am TIME, the great destroyer of the worlds.”
— Bhagavad Gita 11.32
Who has conquered time? Who has reversed old age, escaped karma, or nullified death?
No one.
Because the controller of Time is not a mortal like us. It is The Supreme Lord – Krishna – the Unconquored King who sits beyond all mundane thrones. He sits in the heart of every being in this creation.
Dear Scientists, let us see you isolate THAT SuperSoul from the heart – from inside the physical heart of any living being. Let’s see you control That!!
Where Consciousness Begins, Illusion Ends
The current world leaders cannot dominate the world because they do not understand what the world is. They measure success by scale. But Lord Krishna measures your success by the degree of your surrender.
They confuse control with mastery. But real self-mastery is elusive and begins when the ego agrees to bow down and when the soul remembers that it is not the Center.
There is an axis that these leaders who dont possess spiritual consciousness can never see:
1. The soul – ātmā that never dies.
2. The SuperSoul – paramātmā who witnesses all.
3. The Supreme Consciousness that allows them to rise, and gently watches as they fall.
The One in Whom All Contradictions Reconcile
Lord Krishna is not just the destroyer of the proud. He is also the greatest and the best friend of the humble. He is Kāla—the force that ends every delusion. And He is Govinda – the cowherd who plays the flute of love and protector of the senses. He is sharp as thunder and soft as a mother’s lap. He is yielding as dharma and forgiving as Grace. He is also the The One who can burns cities, and also The One who heals broken hearts. He is not here to be controlled. But He can let you if HE wants it. He is here to be remembered. Again. And those who do remember Him – they do not chase domination. They walk in devotion.
Free from fear.
Free from death.
Free from the madness of “mine.”
To Those Who Think They “Rule“: You are just a Slave!
Build your empires. Launch your satellites. Rename your nations. Amass your influence.
But know this:
The world was never yours. And you are not its god. One breath from the Lord and all you built will be reduced to zero. One glance from Time and even the powerful become dust. So if you must rise, rise to serve. If you must grow, grow in humility and grace. If you must rule, rule and master your senses first.
Because in the end, only one empire stands eternal: The Empire of the Absolute Truth. And the King of this Empire rules the Kingdom of Consciousness.
REAL FREEDOM!
