After being submerged in the experience of amorous pleasure, Rädhä became weary and Kṛṣṇa half-closed his lotus eyes. A bumblebee generally sits on all the flowers one by one and drinks their nectar, but when he sees the excellence of the lotus flower, he becomes deeply attached to it and cannot leave. He becomes madly intoxicated by drinking its nectar and then takes rest therein. Similarly, although Madhusüdana Shri Kṛṣṇa drinks the nectar of all the flower-like gopés, impelled by his deep attachment for the lotus-like Rädhä, he abandons them all. She becomes his resting place because he can experience the full ecstasy of all amorous pleasures only with her. Moreover, when Rädhä experiences Kṛṣṇa’s dexterity in passionate love, her attachment for him also intensifies. Today, Shri Rädhä enjoyed loving pastimes with Shri Hari within her mind. By remembering her previous experiences, she became overwhelmed with anxiety and said to her friend, “O sakhi, arrange for me to meet with Shri Kṛṣṇa at once!” |
