Today is the festival that celebrates the bond between sisters and brothers. The love between sisters and brothers has existed since eternity. However, in the spiritual realm, God says, "Consider Me as your everything." All scriptures and Vedas convey the same message - "tvameva sarvaṃ mama deva deva।" (O Lord! You alone are my everything).
In the Ramayan, Lakshman said that Shri Ram is both his father and his brother. Even saying such a thing would be considered a sin in the material world. If someone were to call their father a brother, their brother a father, or their son a husband, people would consider them insane. So, while thinking in this way is unacceptable in the material world, in the divine realm, it is not only acceptable but also practically realized.
You can consider God in any relationship you desire at any moment. You may regard Him as a father one moment, a son the next, and a husband the moment after that. There is no sin in this; rather, it is an essential condition of devotion that you consider God as your everything. Do not seek relationships elsewhere, for this divine relationship never breaks.
In the material world, all relationships will one day come to an end - father, mother, son, and daughter will all pass away one day.
So, all relationships truly exist with God alone. Therefore - "Mere bhi hain Bhaiya, Krishna Kanhaiya!" Today, Shri Krishna is my brother too.
