My feedback was for me..

Hare Krishna

Funny how Krishna sends our own medicine through our own mouth.

The other day I gave some feedback to an aspiring artist trying to do something Krishna conscious. I told him, “There’s too much you in there.”

What I meant was—the style was so strong, so loud, that it covered the message. The form outshone the function. The reflection of the artist drowned out the theme.

And as soon as I said it, I realized:

That's exactly my own struggle too.

So many times, I look at my own work—especially when I’m not proud of it—and I see the same thing. The message gets buried under layers of personal flair. The me ends up eclipsing the Him.

Style becomes the smoke that clouds the fire, instead of the wind that spreads it.

Krishna consciousness is personal, yes—but it’s not about promoting the personality. It’s about carrying the message, the mercy. The most powerful art is when the message shines through the style, not beneath it.

So yeah... next time you give feedback to someone, pay attention.

It might be Krishna gently handing you the mirror.
