Brahma Vaivarta Purana

Sri Radha-Krsna-samvada

A Conversation of Sri Radha and Sri Krsna

Chapter 6: Verse 201-210

ENGLISH TRANSLATION 201.How many glorious kinds of women are there? How many kinds of glorious men praised again and again? No woman is attached to her lover as I am to You. 202.How is it that I was created from half of Your body? There is no difference between Us. That is why My mind always thinks of You. 203.How is it that My mind, heart, and life were placed in Your body. And Your mind, heart and life were placed in Mine? 204.That is why an eyeblink’s separation from You brings a great catastrophe to My mind. That is why, when it hears that We may be separated, My life-force burns in an unending fire. 205.After speaking these words in the assembly of demigods, again and again Sri Radha grasped Lord Krsna’s lotus feet and loudly wept. 206.Then, placing Her on His lap and with His own garment wiping the tears from Her face, Lord Krsna spoke many true and beneficial words. 207.Sri Krsna said: Goddess, please listen and I will describe to You the yoga of the Supreme, a yoga even the kings of the yogis cannot understand, a yoga that cuts grief into many pieces. 208.O beautiful one, consider this: The entire universe is constructed of two things: resting places and things that rest in them. It is not possible for a resting thing to be separated from its resting place. 209.For the fruit the resting place is the flower. For the flower the resting place is the twig. For the twig the resting place is the branch. For the branch the resting place is the tree itself. 210.For the tree the resting place is the sapling. For the sapling, which is manifest from the seed, the resting place is the seed. For the seed the resting place is the earth.
