Synopsis
Scene 4
|
|
Scene 4 gives a convincing scientific simile to show the effect of repeating the Name. It also brings down those who live in the Fool’s Paradise, like Murkharaj, thinking they will do Kirtan and Japa when they are old and dying. By means of simple illustrations it brings home the necessity of repeating the Lord’s Name incessantly till the Goal is reached. Scene 5Again, in the fifth scene there is a happy fusion of the different paths. Another incident in Sri Krishnavatara is taken up as a main theme. The jealous gopis steal Sri Krishna’s flute and break it. Sri Krishna explains the significance of his flute and also the philosophical truth behind it. The flute is the ideal of a Yogi. It empties itself so that it may be filled with more and more of the Lord’s Divine music, thus qualifying itself to the privilege of ever remaining nearest and dearest to Him. In Divine ecstatic music the flute and the Lord become one and all duality disappears. So, can a Yogi become a Bhakta through selfless service and then even the duality of being nearest and dearest to the Lord disappears when he attains Para Bhakti and identifies himself with the Beloved. |
