Krishna: I do everything through the flute. I assemble the cows of Vraja by its clarion call, pour love and joy into the hearts of the Gopis and melt the minds of the animate and inanimate beings. Though I amone without a second, the one Nirakara Brahman, I have to pour joy and music into the hearts of the advanced Bhaktas like the Gopis through their soul and I assemble the dull Bhaktas like the cows with the music of the flute and feed them with the fruits of their Karmas under my supervision and they respond to my call by repeating my name (one amongst a thousand and eight), and instruct them into the mysteries of the Sakara and Nirakara Brahman after cleansing their intellect and making them grasp the subtle truths. The minds of the most Tamasic and hard-hearted souls are also melted to hear of me my songs and glories and Leelas. Thus I do my universal supervision only through my Bansuri. If anybody wants to taste the nectarine sweetness of my lips, he should empty himself of his egoism completely, as the Bansuri emptiesitself quickly so that I may fill it with my music and keep it always near my lips. Now, Radha, don’t make me more miserable. Please let me have it. Radha: O dear! What a fortunate thing, this Bansuri? I envy its position near your lips. That is by the way; but I don’t know where it is. Krishna: Radha, please. Radha don’t persist in this affected ignorance. You will repent for your behaviour afterwards! |
