From the lecture:
TRANSLATION
Being very angry and biting His reddish lips with His teeth, Kṛṣṇa,
with false tears in His eyes, broke the container of yogurt with a
piece of stone. Then He entered a room and began to eat the freshly
churned butter in a solitary place.
PURPORT
It is natural that when a child becomes angry he can begin crying with false tears in his eyes. So Kṛṣṇa
did this, and biting His reddish lips with His teeth, He broke the pot
with a stone, entered a room and began to eat the freshly churned
butter.Lecture:(not verbatim and points have been missed)
We are reading about the Damodar Lila wherein the Absolute truth Parabrahman in the form of a very small baby child Krishna is performing pastimes in Gokul in such a way to conquer the hearts of the devotees and ultimately give every living being the opportunity to be attracted to the infinite sweetness of Krishna.
In conventional religion or spirituality God reveals Himself as an all powerful creator maintainer and destroyer of all that exists, pronounces laws, absoluate laws that are meant for everyone to follow, gives heavenly rewards or hellish punishments as per how they respond to those Laws. THe AT manifests incredible power, stregth . magnificance, strength. People initially obey out of fear of what will happen if they will not obey. Gradually after obeying out of fear we get purified and gradually love awakens from within us. Sometimes Human beings attach their own false ego upon their particular conceptions of God and if all God is an all powerful destroyer then on behalf of God we should be all powerful destroyers- if God conquers everyone we should conquer everyone.
the power of God is not supposed to boost our ego- the powr of God is understood to humble us.
Here we find that the AT, cause of all causes, as a very innocent baby who has just learned how to walk and although as the almighty God tells people to be obedient here He is acting very disobedient. why? Some people do not understand who Krishna is- how does He expect us to follow rules if He does not follow rules. Krishna His power, He has a Sudarshana Chakra- when He was only 1 or 2 days old He showed us what He could do to Putana. In the same little size He has- He delivered this incredible demon- no person who could be as demoniac as Putana in this world. We have some terrorist and evil people but can we imagine if Putana was here tonight.
She was very evil, killing babies, could manifest a form 12 miles long. Extremely evil. what to speak of aghasura, Pralambasura. Krishna in His childlike way would deliver all of them would not only stop all atrocities but also deliver all of them. What Supreme Court justice can give a person liberation what to speak of elevation to Vaikuntha. when He is acting in this way - it is simply to give pleasure to the devotees and to attract the hearts of the world. We have free will- whether we are willing to open our minds to be attracted by Krishna's beautiful pastimes.The ultimate power of God is God's beauty is God's love, God's sweetness- it is infinitely greater than even His powers- it is His greatest powers, because He is Rasa Bihari.
We are conquered by the love of Krishna and Krishna willingly is conquered by the love of Hid devotees. In this beautiful story a revelation of the Spiritual World- Yashoda Mai is churning butter into Yogurt and she is sining songs about Krishna. VEry early in the morning. As she is singing about Krishna her mpotherly love intensifies and milk starts flowing from her breasts., Krishna who is bed, wakes up and is hungry to taste her milk- in other words Krishna is hungry to taste His devotee's love. He stops her from churning , climbs on her lap and she begins to feed him her milk.Ecstacy of her heart is increasing every moment and the milk gets sweeter bec the milk is her ecstatic love. Krishna reciprocates according to how a devotee approaches- by seeing His beauty her milk gets sweeter- Krishna reciprocates by making His face more attractive. This is the Spiritual platform- His beauty is ever oincreasing- this is acintya- how the Supreme ly beautiful all pervading beauty increase ininfitely. Does that make senses- it cant make sens- it is beyoind our imagination. How the summit of all beauty which is completely whole- it contains everyting nothing can exist outside of it - yet it is veer increasing every moment for eternity. That is Krishna inconcievable.
She hears milk boiling over. She puts Krishna down and ran intuitively and the acaryas asks why in the world would she put Krishna down for some milk boiling over? Because that milk was meant for Krishna later in the day- special Pushpagandha Milk- she would get the best grasses- she would water the grasses with the 8 best cows of all the 900,000 cows then she would feed that best grass to the best cows. That milk has teh fragrance of Lotus Flowers. In Kali Yuga today even Lotus Flowers hardly have any fragrance- this was unimainable fragrance this milk. This was very sweet very delicious and when she soul use that milk to make preparations for Krishna sandesh, barfi kher and Krishna would enjoy it so much.She was thinking of the future and she was thinking only of the moment. That is how parents are thinking of the future and children think of the moment.- nature of babies is not so much planning the future. Parents duty is to plan for the future and harmonize with the present.- if we do not havoc. So she put Him down to save the milk tat would nourish Him for the rest of the day. She had her plan of what she would do, so she ran. Krishna became very angy- not actual anger- it is ultimately meant for the devotee's well being- He wanted to give Yashoda Mai the Highest every increasing happiness. She bites His lips with His teeth and starts to cry false tears- SP explains. How could the absolute truth have anything false - ecause it is simply for the sake of loving relationships.
He picks up a stone and breaks the pot of milk. He runs over to anotehr room- takes a wooden grinding mortar and climbs on it and gets to the butter hanging from the ropes of the ceiling so that monkeys and Krishna cannot get it. He climbs up and gets it and calls the monkeys and feeds them with His own hands- distributing- Food for Life- mid day meals- giving the poor monkeys nice butter and they are very happily eating.
Taking butter churned by mother yashoda for Krishna hHe is putting it in His own mouth a, then putting that same hand in the pot and giving it to the monkeys- how fortunate are the monkeys. They are tasting Mother Yashoda's love. As He is eating His butter it is becoming Maha prasadam- and personally with His own hand He is giving it to the monkeys- all that love and compassion is going into the butter- what is that taste of such spiritually surcharged butter. Just then Yashoda Mai comes back and seh sees the mess that Krishna created and sees that all the butter she made - He is giving it all the monkeys- so many monkeys in her house. She smiles but as ather she has to teach Krishna a proper lesson- she picked up a stick- she came behind Lord Krishna very quietly- the monkeys saw Yashoda mai with a stick immd ran away fear in their eyese- this is a very serious pastime- the psychology in it is so deep. We read bhaja hure mana sri nandana- when we take shelter of Sri Nanadannana we become fearless- these monkeys took shelter of sri Nandanandana - they were ecstatic when the ate the better but they were so afraid that were very ready to leave that scene of Krishna feeding them with their own hands. But their fear was not like the fear of this world- that inhibits happiness. this fear on the Xcendental level is the perfection of fearlesses- taken shelter if Krishna but the fear os the love of Yashoda- they are overpowered by Her love and it can make Krishna cry- even Krishna became afraid- He followed the monkeys
