Rewriting Krishna’s Reality?

By Ajit Krishna Dasa

People love to act like they can make up reality as they go. They change their pronouns, call themselves a different gender or species — as if simply declaring it could make it true. They do the same with morality: deciding abortion isn’t murder if they call it “choice,” or hookup culture isn’t empty if they call it “freedom.” Every one of these moves comes from the same deep root — the desire to define reality on their own terms. And that’s a dead giveaway that they want to take God’s position. They want the power to say what is real and what is right.

But that power belongs only to Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Only Krishna can truly create and control reality. This world and all its laws — moral, physical, and spiritual — come from Him. Reality reflects His will. The soul, being tiny and insignificant compared to Him, can never create reality independently. Yet, due to envy of God, the soul rebels. It tries to imitate Krishna by inventing its own “truths,” pretending that it can live outside His order. That’s the mentality of the conditioned soul — instead of serving the Supreme, it aspires to take His seat.

Scientists and materialists do this too. They want to explain life as a random accident, as if matter could produce consciousness without any Supreme cause. They imagine a world where “progress,” “human rights,” and “equality” can erase all distinctions created by God — distinctions like teacher and student, man and woman, elder and youth — and make everything interchangeable. But this is just another way of playing God. They want to reorder what Krishna Himself designed. In truth, they cannot change the reality that Krishna set up; they can only delude themselves into thinking they have.

And even so-called “compassion” often masks the same rebellion. They preach tolerance and kindness as long as it matches their whims, because they want to establish their own moral compass — one that suits their sense gratification. It all springs from the soul’s envious itch to take the Supreme’s seat and declare, “I will decide what is good and what is bad.” This is the mentality of someone who cannot accept that Krishna is the true controller.

Krishna describes this demoniac mentality clearly in the Bhagavad-gītā:

pravṛttiṁ ca nivṛttiṁ ca janā na vidur āsurāḥ —
“Those who are demoniac do not know what is to be done and what is not to be done.” (BG 16.7)

And elsewhere He warns:

adharmaṁ dharmam iti ya manyate tamasa ’vṛtā —
“That understanding which considers irreligion to be religion and religion to be irreligion is enveloped by darkness.” (BG 18.32)

That’s exactly what we see all around. They flip everything upside-down and convince themselves they’re making progress. They may change names, labels, and stories all they want — but none of that can erase the simple fact that they live in a world created and governed by Krishna. They can talk big and pretend they’re in control, but reality stays reality no matter what they believe.

In the end, Krishna is all-powerful and independent. The soul’s attempt to mimic that power is like a tiny spark trying to outshine the sun — futile and absurd. Until one accepts Krishna as the Supreme and aligns with His will, this charade of playing God will continue, and the soul will stay trapped in illusion.

Let me know if you’d also like a shorter version for social media or a more poetic style — I can craft that too!k big, they can front like they’re in charge, but reality stays reality no matter what they believe.
