RADHA AND KRISHNA

 

Swami tell us a beautiful story about " Radha's Love for Krishna.

see the story below: " Oh, Radha' Radha, what a devotee was Radha.-

One time, Swami spoke to me about Radha's love for Lord Krishna and

how much her breath, mind and heart were always absorbed in Krishna

 

Can we so completely in love with Swami like the gopis (milkmaids).

Who grew up with Krishna and who only thought of Krishna and spent

all there time looking for him?

 

Once Swami delivered a stirring discourse about Krishna and also in

an interview Swami asked, Sandweiss, what did you think of my talk?

I was surprised that Swami should ask me such question, and I

responded, " Swami it was wonderful. I loved it. " He asked, " Was it

too long? I was worried that Swami might have seen me yawn or turn

my attention away for a moment. I said , " No Swami, it was not too

long. It was perfect. "

 

Swami sat back in his chair and started telling us about Radha. He

appread in ecstasy and began speaking lovingly about her.

 

" Oh Radha, Radha, what a devotee was Radha. She was always looking for Krishna,

always talking about Krishna ,always thinking about Krishna. There was not a

moment that Krishna was not in her mind, in consciousness. She was always

looking for Him, singing to Him. Even when she slept, she had no other dream but

about Krishna. What a wonderful devotee was Radha. "

 

Seeing Swami in such bliss, I knew he was talking about relationship

he himself Had with Radha. Here was Sai Krishna! I thought, " Swami,

I `d love to be like that. " Unfortunately, that the world is distracting, I

wondered could we fill ourselves only with Swami like the gopis had with

Krishna?

 

Can we be so much in love with Swami that all other thoughts and

feelings just melt away and have no more power on us? I know can

happen; it happened the first time when Swami came to me personally, in response

to my pain and gave me two small pieces of candy. This inner experience exists

and is more real than the outer world and know that Swami's love can bring it

alive.

 

Swami gives us instructions on how to keep our minds focused on GOD.

Our practice should not be not too much and not too little. People

with obsessive Disposition might try too hard and then falter; lazy people might

not try enough and hence not advance. It is like shaving with straigh razor.

Press too hard and you Will get cut, press too lightly and nothing happens, "

says Sai Baba.
