Ba:la Leelas of Lord Krishna #4

Sri Krishna Parabrahmane: Namaha!

Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam!!

 

For those who have true bhakthi, only Bhagavan's

'soulabhyam' will be noticeable. His 'parathvam'

will not be visible. 'Where can he go without

submitting to me, he will definitely submit, I

will surely bind him' - thinking thus with strong

determination, forgetting self and forgetting Him

if one tries to tie Him, one would surely be able

to bind Bhagavan. He or she on one side and Krishna

on the other side:---- these two ends should be

knotted! "This is not 'I' who is binding Him. He

is not 'Sarve:swara' who is bound by me. This is

my own son."- When this feeling filled Yasoda,

Krishna was tied by her. This is the most significant

secret of 'Bhakthi'.

 

Krishna went to his mother who was churning curds

and asked her, "mom! feed me milk" While feeding

him fondly, she ran to remove the boiling pot of

milk, from the fire. This is 'Karma Nishta'. This

hinders bhakthi. She should get the feeling that

feeding him would cover all the chores. He broke

the pot of curds as it would not be necessary to

do those karmas that (are an obstruction for)

hamper the love on him . He ate the butter and fed

the monkeys too. He stood on the pounding stone.

It might be a wooden one which was not useful and

thrown out in the back yard. It is not useful for

any other work. Pounding stone stands for 'Jna:na'.

If paddy is pounded, it removes the unwanted husk.

Jna:na eliminates Ajna:na. That jna:na should be

'Ananya:rham' meaning it should be useful to know

only 'Him' but should not be useful to know anything

else. That stone is useful for Krishna to stand on

it but not useful for pounding.

 

O:m Haraye: Namaha!

O:m Haraye: Namaha!

O:m Haraye: Namaha!

 

Jai Srimannarayana!
