Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Once, Yashoda Scolded Krishna saying, “Oh! My Dear ! You Never ever eat any food I prepare for you. You go to every other House and eat the butter stored in their houses. You are creating many many problems for me. Does not my Food prepared with so much Love for you not taste good for you?” She then tied Krishna to a mortar with a rope. It is everybody’s experience in the world that we do not like the food cooked in our own house. The items cooked in others’ houses will appear to be tasty. This is quite natural. However, Krishna did not steal the butter from others’ houses for its taste. There is an underlying message in this Divine Leela. Here, butter symbolises a pure heart. Wherever such a pure heart is available, Krishna takes it. Such a pure heart will be soft and sweet. The hearts of Gopis were ripened with devotion. They were pure, soft and sweet. Hence, Krishna had gone to their houses to steal their hearts. - Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
