Today 
I had a simple but profound realization: God is great, and God is good. If he were good but not great, He could not help us fully. And if He were great but not good, He could harm us. But He is great, and He is good, and He is always mindful of all the infinite living entities. These thoughts brought to mind a verse Srila Prabhupada often quoted from the Katha Upanishad (2.2.13):
nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam
eko bahunam yo vidadhati kaman
“He is the prime eternal among all eternals. He is the supreme conscious being among all conscious beings. And He alone is supplying all the desired necessities of life for the many other living beings.”
I had heard these words before, but today they came to life. Now I pray to always remember the good, great Supreme Godhead and serve Him with gratitude and appreciation. As the same verse in the Katha Upanishad continues,
tam pitha-gam ye ’nupasyanti dhiras
tesam santih sasvati netaresam
“The wise souls who worship Him in His abode attain everlasting peace. Others cannot.”
Hare Krishna.
