Prabhupada and his host related to each other graciously. But one night Mr.

Balu and his wife came to Srila Prabhupada and asked him to please speak

about the rasa-lila of Radha and Krsna. Prabhupada replied that the

rasa-lila, being the most exalted spiritual topic, was meant only for

liberated souls. Only one completely free of material desires, Prabhupada

explained, was fit to hear the rasa-lila.

 

"No, Swamiji," Mr. Balu insisted. "My wife and I are very keen. You must

recite rasa-lila."

 

Again Prabhupada described the exalted position of the rasa dance, repeating

that only when one is completely free of all material attachments to wife,

family, home, and money could he become fit to hear of Krsna's rasa dance.

Mr. Balu then folded his hands and politely repeated, "Swamiji, my wife and

I plead with you. Please recite rasa-lila."

 

Then Prabhupada replied, "Well, you may be fit to hear rasa-lila, but I do

not feel that I am qualified to speak it. So kindly ask someone else."

 

 

 

Srila Prabhupada lilamrta Ch. 38.
