Thought for the Day

The story of Krishna and the gopis (cowherd-girls) has a deep inner meaning. Brindavan is not a specific place on the map; it is the Universe Itself. Every heart is filled with the longing for the Lord, and the flute is the call of the Lord. In the sport called Rasakrida where Lord Krishna is described as dancing with the gopis in the moonlight, every maid had a Krishna holding her hand in the dance. This is the symbol of the yearning and the travail borne by those who aim at reaching His presence. The Lord manifests such Grace that each one of you has the Lord all for yourself; you need not be sad that you won't have Him, when others get Him; nor need you be proud that you have Him and no one else can have Him at the same time! The Lord is installed in the altar of your heart.
