Kadavun - 29

                          (Shree Krishan worries about his Gopis. He thinks constantly about you in his waking, sleep and dream state, throughout the day and night. He often utters ‘Gopi – Gopi’ to call you to him.) 

Uddhavji said, “O Gopis! You are very dear to Shree Krishna. The whole world remembers God, but God Shree Krishna remembers you. He always thinks and says, ‘What might my Gopis be doing in their homes!’ Devotees of God wake up from sleep, remembering God, but God - Shree Krishna, wakes up daily and chants ‘O Gopis! O Gopis!’ This shows his love for you.” 

God should be at the centre of love 

Only those who are sadhus, who remember God without any interruption and who are called Sants, are remembered constantly by God. The word ‘Sant’ is very great. A true sant lives in any kind of attire – saffron, coloured or otherwise, but his heart is coloured in the fast colour of devotion. 

Only God deserves to be loved. The loves of man change colour according to his mind set and circumstance. Worldly love does not give peace and satisfaction. In his childhood, a man loves his mother, then he loves his toys in his boyhood or girlhood, then he begins to love his friends and in a married life he loves his spouse! Thus the objects that are loved change in accordance to time and circumstance. These love bound relations are fragile and non-permanent. 

Grasp the reality. Grasp the truth. Make your love permanent by installing God at the centre of love. There should be no requirement to change your loved one: 

                  (Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma worship Him with devotional love. But supreme Lord Shree Krishna remembers you with devotional love. I am not able to understand this.) 

Uddhava said, “Lord Shiva, Lord Brahma, the thirty three crore deities and eighty eight thousand Rishis worship Shree Krishna, with devotional love. But it is most surprising that Lord Shree Krishna loves you most ardently. He remembers you without any interuption. He does’nt forget you for even a moment. I marvel about the punyas of your past births. Shree Krishna talks and thinks only about Vraj and the Gopis. Now I will disclose to you the secrets of his heart. O Gopis! Listen to me. I am explaining it for your pleasure and peace.” The Gopis listened to him with great attention.
