What is the purpose of the Divine Leelas of the Avatar? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today, so that we may make our lives purposeful!

‘Krish’ means to attract, draw, as in akarshana. Krishna draws the mind away from sensory desires; that is a way in which the draw operates. He pulls the mind towards Him and so they are pulled away from everything else, for everything else is inferior, less valuable. He satisfies the deepest thirst of man, for peace, joy and wisdom. That is why He is Megha-Shyama, dark-blue as the rain cloud. The very sight of the rain-laden cloud is so refreshing. He is lotus-eyed, lotus-palmed, lotus-soled; the lotus is reminiscent of cool, calm, deep lakes of limpid water, water that quenches thirst. When Krishna-trishna (thirst for Krishna) is quenched, highest bliss is attained; there’s no more need, no more want, defect or decline. The urge to drink inferior drinks, that only feeds the thirst, disappears when once the sweetness of Krishna Nama and Krishna bhava (name and thoughts of Krishna) are tasted.
