He lives in sound...
Bhakti-rasayana p. 71
"If a person is crying out from afar,
is there any friend or relative who won't come to his aid?
Even if there is a son who has given his mother great difficulty, even to the point of trying to kill her,
when he calls out in pain,
will his mother not come to his aid?
Are there any parents anywhere who could possibly ignore the pleas of their offspring?
Perhaps only if they don't hear them -
but Krsna is always nearby,
and if we call out to Him,
will He not hear?
He is much more merciful than mere worldly parents.
There is no place where He is not;
He is always very near us inside our hearts.
If we call Him sincerely,
is it possible that He won't hear us?
Will Krsna not hear if we loudly call out to Him?
At present we don't have sufficient faith,
but when we pray from deep within our heart with great faith and tears falling from our eyes,
'O master of the gopis, please hear my desperate prayer!'
will He not hear it?
Certainly He will;
otherwise His name would have to be changed.
When we have this mood,
then what we are engaged in can really be called bhajana."
