Ba:la Leelas of Lord Krishna - Phala krayaNam

[Guest guest]

Srikrishna Parabrahmane: namaha!

Srimathe Ramanujayanamaha!!

 

In the Nandavraj one day when Krishna was a small boy he saw a lady passing by

selling fruits. Srikrishna went to his mother Yasoda and asked her, ‘Amma! Give

me some grains I want to buy some fruits.” He took some paddy in his hands and

came out. The fruit seller came to the door- step. One who awards all the fruits

of life is standing there longing to buy fruits. Swami dropped his handsful of

paddy into her basket. She kept fruits into his hands. She looked down. She

wondered. There was no paddy in her basket. There was a heap of precious gems.

This is Swami’s leela. Craving for mundane fruits, we do lots of businesses. Of

course, there is no wrong in doing them.

 

But Swami says – you offer me the fruit of your doing. (karma).

 

The woman selling fruits offered him the fruits. What did she get in return?

Valuable gems for perishable fruits! This will happen even to us if we offer him

the fruits. Though we do karma seeking temporary benefits if we offer him their

fruit as ‘krishnaarpanam’ then they become inexhaustible and everlasting. They

become divine.

 

Don’t think – ‘I am doing and it is for my happiness’.

Think (just bhaavana) – ‘Krishna is making me do this.

I am doing his work for his happiness. He is responsible for – karma and for the

result of karma.

 

It’s simple. Just change the pattern of your thinking and do your work. The

result would be amazing. It awards us ‘MOKSHA’.

 

Lord Krishna made us experience in his leela what he taught us in Srimad

Bhagavad Gita.

 

O:m Haraye: Namaha! O:m Haraye: Namaha!!

O:m Haraye: Namaha!!!

Jaisrimannarayana!

Ramanuja dasi.
