Why did Krishna steal butter and dance with the Gopikas?

 

[is it not a black scar on the full white moon?] First we

must understand that the real aim in following Dharma (justice) is

only to please the Lord. The Lord is the Protector and Dharma is the

protected. The protector is always greater than the protected. Among

the other souls [while interacting with other souls] you have to

reject injustice and vote for justice.

But when the Lord competes with justice, you have to vote for the

Lord. In Pravritti [worldly life], justice and injustice compete and

you have to vote for justice.

But in Nivritti [life devoted to God] the Lord competes with justice

and you have to vote for the Lord. In fact, you don’t have the

patience to understand what the Lord does, and you simply blame Him.

There are certain subtle aspects of Dharma (Dharma sukshma), which

look like injustice. Only with deep analysis can one understand the

Dharma sukshma.

 

The butter indicates the extra stored money of the cowherds

[Gopikas]. You are expected to take money from this world, which is

required

for your minimum needs. This entire world is the money of the Lord.

But you are

earning extra and storing it for your future generations due to

greediness. You

must donate that extra money to the Lord who is in the human form and

He will

distribute it to His devotees for their upliftment. If you are not

doing this, the Lord will

steal your money, which is actually His own money. Butter is the

fruit of their

work, which is money. Similarly He danced with the Gopikas who were

sages in

their past births. They prayed to Him (Rama) in their previous birth

for the

same. He only fulfilled the boon given by Him to His devotees.
