A LETTER TO TERRORISTS FROM LORD KRISHNA

“I am the One you claim to serve.
But let Me tell you who I truly am.

I am not confined to one book, one name, or one religion. I dwell in all beings. I am in the Muslim, the Christian, the Hindu, the Jew, the Sikh, the Jain, the Buddhist, the Atheist, and the Agnostic. I am the breath of every creature, the soul of every heart. I am the atom. I am the galaxy. I am the silence between thoughts and the power behind every heartbeat. I have no birth. I have no form. And yet, through My Maya—this divine illusion—I appear with names and shapes to guide you. I come to each according to their past karmas, their nature, and their inner readiness.

But hear this clearly:
If you kill another in My name, thinking they are “other,” you do not defend Me—you betray Me. It is as foolish as stabbing My leg and looking at My face for approval. You think you serve Me, but you wound Me.

The universe is not two. It is One. The same divine spark shines in all. This illusion of division—this “me” and “them,” this “my God” and “your God”—is the root of your fear, your hatred, your violence. This is avidya—ignorance. And that ignorance leads to the destruction not only for the self, but for the society.

In the Bhagavad Gita 7.21–22, I said:
“Whichever form a devotee seeks with faith, it is I who make that faith firm. And it is I who grant the result of their worship—through that very form.” Know this: when someone prays to a name you don’t accept, they are still praying to Me.

And in Gita 9.30, I offered this promise:
“Even if the most sinful person worships Me with exclusive devotion, he must be considered righteous, for he has resolved rightly.” 

That devotion is called Ananya Bhakti—seeing Me and only Me in all. Not just in temples or mosques, but in every human being, every faith, every heart. You say you love Me. Then love what I love—all life. You say you fight for Me. Then fight your own ego, your anger, your delusion.

Stay in your faith. I gave it to you. But live with purity. Earn respect for your people, your family, your teachers, and your path. You were not born to hate. You were born to rise.

You have misunderstood Me, and I forgive you. But now, understand Me rightly. I am not on one side. I am the wholeness that has no sides. When I refer to you as “they” or “you,” know that I do so only because you are a fragment—a speck of My own untainted Self momentarily entangled in Prakriti—Nature.

As I declared in the Gita (7.4–7.6),
this Nature is made up of eight elements—earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intellect, and ego. These form the field in which your soul plays the game of life, experiencing dualities—pleasure and pain, success and failure, light and darkness.

But within you is I—the eternal spark untouched by Nature. When you, bound by ego and illusion, transcend this entanglement, when you master Nature rather than be mastered by it, then you will not be “you” anymore—you will become Me.

Let Me make it clear and simple how you can become Me. So long as you remain fascinated by Maya, you will feel separate, divided, restless, and incomplete. But the moment you grow content with the dance of illusion, the moment your longing shifts from the world to the Absolute, you begin the return journey. You loosen the chains of duality. You see through the mirage of separateness. You recognize your true nature as non-dual, undivided, eternal. And in that moment, you no longer remain “you.” You become Me. For we were never two. Only the veil made it seem so. But those who remain caught in delusion—know that I warned of their path.

In Bhagavad Gita 16.17–18, I described them:
“Self-conceited, stubborn, filled with pride and intoxicated by wealth, they perform sacrifices only in name—driven by hypocrisy, not dharma—and act with violence, blinded by ego and arrogance.”

And in Gita 16.19, I declared:
“Those who are hateful, cruel, and enemies of the world— I hurl them again and again into demonic births.”

In Gita 16.20, I warned:
“Fallen into such wombs, these deluded souls never reach Me. They sink ever deeper into darkness, bound by ignorance.”

But even now, I offer you a way out.

In Gita 16.21, I gave the diagnosis:
“There are three gates to hell—lust, anger, and greed. Abandon them.”

And in Gita 16.22, I gave the cure:
“He who escapes these three gates, acts for the good of the soul, and reaches the Supreme Goal.”

This is where your return begins.

Let go of the lust for domination, the anger toward the other, the greed for reward or revenge. You do not need to leave your religion. I gave you your path through your karma. But let it uplift you, not degrade you. Let your sword fall, and let your hands rise in Ananya Bhakti (Looking at the universe as ONE)—not in war. Let your hate dissolve and your heart open.

Come back to Me—
not with blood on your hands, 
but with love in your heart.

I do not want your violence.
I want your transformation.
I want you to walk the path of light.
And if you do, I will walk with you.

Abandon the gates of hell.
Choose the path of peace.
Choose love.
Choose Me.”

— Krishna as I am known to this world.
