Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I really do not think we are puppets in anyway, unless one wants to assume a role of a puppet. Krishna has vested in us a lot of character, individuality and capability, that surely makes us strong individuals.We can enjoy the relationship with Krishna only if we remain as Individuals. Krishna can perfectly reciprocate one's loving propensities in different relationships called mellows or rasas. Basically there are twelve loving relationships. of these, the basic five are :One can love Krishna as the supreme unknown, as the supreme master, the supreme friend, the supreme child, the supreme lover. These are the five basic love rasas. One can also love Krishna indirectly in seven different relationships, which are apparently different from the five primary relationships. All in all, however, if one simply reposes his dormant loving propensity in Krishna, then his life becomes successful. This is not a fiction but is a fact that can be realized by practical application. One can directly perceive the effects that love for Krishna has on his life. Radharani chose the best of the relationsips with Krishna and thus we see Radharani alwayswith Krishna. In this way Lord Krishna fulfills everyone's desires. There is no question of serving Lord Krishna by force (as a puppet would). Lord Krishna makes sure we serve by our heart, with full involvement, not by force or coercion. KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS is unconditional from both sides. KRISHNA is not bound to us, we are not bound to KRISHNA, yet there is a transcendental loving relationship established between us. This took me some time to understand, but when this dawned, Krishna Consciousness became a reality. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
