Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Divine Message of His Holiness Shri Datta Swami Whenever we think of Lord Krishna and Gopikas, we think the only sexual relationship between them. We have a wrong notion that the sexual relationship is only the highest form of love. If that is so why Buddha left His wife and why Meera left her husband for the sake of the Lord? It is only one of several forms of the love. Among the Gopikas who got the highest abode (Goloka) some loved Lord Krishna as their son, some loved Him as brother and some loved Him as their husband. The Lord does not consider the form of the love but estimates the intensity or quantity of love. There may be parrots or swans or even donkeys made of sugar. Whatever may be the form, the price depends on the weight of the sugar. A lady devotee, Kubja developed lust on Lord Krishna. Krishna satisfied her, sleeping with her one night in the Madhura town. Kubja was not given Goloka. She had lust but not love on the Lord. Lust is related to simply the physical form. Love is related to the total personality. One day the finger of Lord Krishna was cut when He was eating sugarcane. All the wives ran here and there in search of a piece of cloth for bandage. But Draupadi, who loved Lord Krishna as her brother tore her sari and banded the finger. The love of the sister excelled the love of the wives. Therefore, it is not the form of bond but it is the weight of the bond that matters for the Lord. All the Gopikas who were having different types of bonds with Lord Krishna became mad after the departure of Lord Krishna from Brindavanam. Not only Radha who had the sexual relationship, but also Yasoda who nourished Lord Krishna as mother became mad after His departure. Both Yasoda and Radha reached Goloka because their intensity of love was equal. Therefore, one should love God by cutting all the worldly bonds and must be prepared even to sacrifice the life for the sake of the Lord like Prahlada. Jesus told that he who does not leave wife, children, wealth and even life for His sake is not His beloved disciple. This refers to any human being whether male or female. The extent of sacrifice of these worldly bonds indirectly gives a measure of the intensity of the bond with God. More you are attached to God, more you will be detached from the world. Therefore, such form of bond with Lord Krishna is not important but the intensity of love to Lord Krishna, which is measured by the sacrifice of the world, is important. Such form of bond is not the invariable path to the Lord. The other bonds are also the alternative ways to reach the same goal. All the paths are parallel to each other and it is a running race of different candidates. The speed in running is important and not the path assigned to him. I am neither encouraging nor discouraging the path because it is purely of personal taste. But the success depends on the intensity and vigour in the love to the Lord. To be born as a female is to remove the masculine egoism only and not to have sex with the Lord. However, the sages took the female births and interacted with the Lord by bodies and such a desire was personal but not essential. Such interaction is called as ‘Sweet Devotion’ (Mathura Bhakthi). When such desire exists, the devotee will get the female birth and will certainly become the beloved of the Lord. The Lord just responds to the desire of the devotees and He Himself does not have any desire as said in Veda (Apta Kaamasya Kaa Spruhaa). He is the ocean of the bliss and does not require happiness from the external agencies. The fire itself is hot and does not require heating from outside. The Love of the Lord takes the same colour of the love of the devotee to satisfy the devotee and this is not needed for the Lord because He is always in satisfied state as said in Gita (Name Karmaphale Spruhaa, Naanavaaptamavaaptavyam). The Lord has attained everything because everything is in Him only. There is nothing for Him to attain from outside. If such egoism is removed there is no need of these external agencies. Ofcourse for the beginners the external agency effects the internal psychology also. If you can get rid of these three types of egoism, you can be liberated even if you belong to higher caste and even if you are a male scholar. The internal meaning should be taken. Ancient sages only to indicate how an individual soul should submit to the Lord as husband established the traditional domination of male over female. The male stands for the Lord and the female stands for the individual soul. This does not mean that the male is Lord and female is the only individual soul. Both are individual souls in essence. In a drama two girls acted. One acted as Rama and the other acted as Sita. The domination of Rama and submission of Sita indicates the domination of the Lord and the submission of the devotee. It does not mean the domination of one girl over the other girl. If this secret is understood every man will loose the masculine egoism and will treat every female member equal to him. The final birth to get the salvation must be an illiterate non-Brahmin female only. The inner meaning of this statement is that the final salvation is given only when the egoism of male, caste and knowledge vanishes. The meaning should not be taken literally. Shri. Rama Krishna Paramahamsa got salvation directly even though He was a male, since He lost the masculine egoism completely. Therefore, one should try for the internal spiritual effort and need not attach any importance to the external agencies in the advanced stage of spirituality. posted by: His servant at the lotus feet of shri datta swami www.universal-spirituality.org "udaykumar S.K." <udaykumar001 wrote: The sexual intercourse can be used to gain "virya"which increases "ojas" by these tantrik methods.
