39) Vaidikā 'vaidikau mārgau, krīḍākarṣaṇa lālasāḥ |
Mucyante madvido jīvāḥ, arthavāda phalacyutāḥ ||
[There are two ways of developing devotion to God:-
i) The Vedic way:- By performing sacrifices (Yajnas) concentrating on various names like Indra, Agni etc., of God. These devotees like formless God having these names. The males are attracted by female heavenly dancers and the females participating in sacrifice are attracted by male heavenly dancers.
ii) Non-Vedic way:- The female devotees are attracted to sing and dance with the created forms of the human incarnation of God like Me, while the male devotees are attracted to associate with Me as friends in doing mischievous deeds like stealing butter, playing games etc. These souls develop lot of attraction towards God and after knowing the qualities of God, they get liberated from all the worldly fascinations before death and hence, need not be worried about the lies told regarding the upper energetic world called heaven. In heaven, the souls exist in energetic forms (Rajas is energy) and in an energetic form, these sexual desires do not exist, which exist only in materialised forms of Tamas of human souls. This means that the heavenly dancers don’t exist in the heaven because the pure heaven itself is the pure abode of God (in western religions heaven and abode of God are one and the same). The heaven containing dancers is arthavāda and does not exist. It is told to contain dancers for the sake of encouraging bad souls of Dushpravrutti to perform the sacrifice to God and this is arthavāda only. Actually, the soul is reformed before death and reaches God through Nivrutti. The heaven for the sake of doers of good deeds without much concentration on God exists with all other facilities of pleasure except dancers. Such heaven is different from the abode of God (7th upper world) and exists as 3rd upper world.]
40) Cauryaṃ nṛtyaṃ ca kartavye, bhūmāvanṛta durgamāt |
Jīvānāṃ Jīvanādhānāt, na pāpaṃ tādṛśasthiteḥ ||
[On the earth in the non-Vedic way, the rāsa-dance played with females and the mischievous plays like stealing butter in association with males can’t be lies and have to be performed by Me since these attractions are on the earth on which the souls are alive. The males and females are not spoiled by Me through these two sinful deeds, which are stealing and illegal dancing respectively since they are already staying in such sinful states due to their Dushpravrutii.]
41) Duṣpravṛttiḥ kalāveva, sūcyate munibhiḥ puraḥ |
Divyanāṭaka pātrasthai, raspṛṣṭaissṛṣṭa jīvibhiḥ ||
[At present, neither these Gopikas are in Dushpravrutti nor My male friends participating in stealing butter are in Dushpravrutti. These cowherd males and females are actually the sages doing penance for Me for several past births. Such pure sages cannot play the actually sinful roles in this divine play, but, they represent the sinful females and males present in Dushpravrutti in the coming Kali age for whom only these attractions are created and are applicable. The sages are unaffected since they are only indicating the sinful souls in the coming Kali age. I have created human beings having My forms in order to do romance with Gopikas, who are the actual sages. The hidden secret is that these created Krishnas didn’t have the real sexual union with Gopikas even in the divine play.]
42) Gopī sṛṣṭeṣu cāśleṣa – cumbanaṃ bhrātṛ dhīkṛtam |
Ābhyantara rataṃ naiva, jīveṣvasti paratra yat ||
[During the rāsa-dance, only the external actions like kissing and hugging were done by the created Krishnas and Gopikas. Hugging and kissing can be done by brothers and sisters also without any sexual intentions. These external actions are misunderstood as hugging and kissing done with sexual intentions. In this way, the Krishnas created by Me and the sages acting as Gopikas have not done even the shadow of trace of sin. All this divine play was meant for attracting sinful souls with really bad qualities and diverting them towards God so that they slowly transform into righteous souls with good qualities. During the early period of such transformation, the most good-looking devoted human beings acting as preachers (both men for bad women and women for bad men) created by Me will have facial attraction on those souls having bad qualities and this is not a sin on My side because these sinful souls will have the same sin in Dushpravrutti continuously even if this arrangement does not exist from My side. The good-looking devotees created by Me will transform the bad souls into good souls within short time by preaching devotion of God to them. Actual sex is neither present in the divine play enacted by God Krishna and Gopikas nor present in the facial attraction of preachers and the attracted bad souls. God’s permission is only upto the facial attraction and not the actual sex. If the preachers and devotees cross this boundary prescribed by God, they will be punished for their sin.]
43) Gopyā suratanātheti, Sṛśṣṭaḥ prokto natairiva |
Saṅkalpa rahitaṃ karma, Na pāpāyeti paṇḍitāḥ ||
[The created Krishnas were addressed by Gopikas as masters of sex (Suratanātha) and such addressing can be taken as superficial acting dialogues among the cinema actors in their roles. The role is always unreal and the actor/actress is the basic reality. The dialogues uttered by roles are always unreal. Hence, this blame can’t stand substantially. When there is no intention, sin can’t enter into the external action like acting and every wise scholar with deep understanding of spiritual knowledge says this.]
44) Saundaryā'karṣaṇam bhakte, prārambha duṣṭalakṣaṇam |
Satsṅga para mānītam, Sadguṇa sthiti muttamām||
[When the souls having very bad qualities get attracted to the beautiful devoted preachers, they are turned into souls with good qualities due to the excellent devotion preached by the devoted preachers. The physical attraction is only initial bad psychological attraction to come close to the devoted preacher. After some spiritual discussions, the bad psychology disappears and divine devotion flares up transforming the bad qualities into good qualities due to the power of God. This is the main background of this rāsa-dance.]
45) Loka vāñchā pradaḥ karṣan, bhaktān sāmīpya mānayet |
Pravṛtti macirāt karṣet, kanṭakaṃ kanṭakena hi ||
[God grants even unjust desires (with the help of His unimaginable power called Māyā) in the beginning stage to attract the bad souls towards His close association and develop devotion in them, which will reform them. The aim of this devotion is to make the bad souls to turn into good souls of Pravrutti leaving their bad state of Dushpravrutti. During the initial stage of transformation from bad to good state, the bad quality is plucked out by another bad quality shown from the side of divinity just like a thorn is plucked out with the help of another thorn.]
46) Arthavādamayaṃ sarvam, prerakaṃ satpathāya hi |
Anyathāpi durguṇatvāt, divya pakṣe na durguṇaḥ ||
[All this entire divine play is full of arthavādas, which are utter lies in order to initiate the soul to enter into the better virtuous path from sinful life. For this purpose, the Creator Krishna appears to have involved in the sin by creating extra human beings having His own form for the sake of involving in the same sin to give inevitable response from the side of God. Since the created human beings are directly involved in the sin of facial attraction from the side of God, it may also appear that God is touched by sin because He made this arrangement with an intention of facial attraction. Even if this sin is not done from the side of God through His created devotional preachers or human beings having His own form, the souls of Dushpravrutti will do the same sin (in fact, even more sin like involvement of sex is done apart from the little sin of facial attraction) in Dushpravrutti continuously with other illegal human beings. Based on this single crucial point, the sin doubted on the side of God neither touches the Creator Krishna nor touches the created souls or divine preachers, who are directly involved for this purpose. Anyway, the Creator Krishna is not at all involved in this sin anywhere directly or indirectly.]
47) Icchā kanyā guṇo dharmyo, balātkāro na tadvaśaḥ |
Māyā rūpaiḥ pariṇatāḥ, Rukmiṇī Radhikā parāḥ ||
[A female devotee having the desire to marry God Krishna is having no trace of injustice because any female has the right to love anybody based on her deep analysis. This desire can be treated as the fruit of Nivrutti for a devotee, who passes the Nivrutti tests and attains the stage of disappearance of all the worldly bonds resulting in a single bond with God and in this single bond possessing all forms of love towards God, the romantic love towards God is also justified from the side of the soul. But, such desire should not be forced on God because forcing God through the threat of suicide shows the lack of total surrender to God in which no fruit in return is even aspired from God and not to speak of forcing God to fulfill the aspiration. In fact, 1000 Gopikas and 16,108 wives (including Rukmini) have forced this God Krishna for marriage (God Krishna is talking about the future marriage with Rukmini and 16,107 daughters of kings since He is omniscient knowing past, present and future as told in the Gita as “Bhaviṣyāṇi ca sarvāṇi…”). All others were married by the created forms of Krishna, whereas Rukmini and Radha were married by the real form of Krishna. Radha did not force, whereas Rukmini forced Krishna threatening that she will commit suicide otherwise. But, Radha never forced Krishna to marry her and Krishna Himself proposed and married Radha secretly through the exchange of rings (Gāndharva Vivāha). Radha went to the higher Goloka, whereas Rukmini went to the lower Brahmaloka. Hence, Radha was kept in the heart of God Krishna and not Rukmini (this is exhibited by the red-hot Krishna after Radha drinks the hot milk). The marriage through real form with these two became inevitable since both these are the embodiments of Anaghā or the Mahā Māyā power of the original God. The sages born as Gopikas threatened Krishna that they would commit suicide not for marriage, but only for a dance.]
Iti Śrī Datta Svāmi viracita Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa Gītāyāṃ Rādhā Viṣāda Yogo Nāma prathamadhyāyaḥ |
[Like this, in Shri Rādhā Kṛṣṇa Gītā, composed by Shri Datta Swaami, the first chapter called ‘Depression Yoga of Rādhā’ is completed.]
