Why did Lord Krishna have extra marital affair with Gopikas which is not God's will?

[Śrī Ganesh V. asked: Padanamaskāraṃ Swāmiji! You initially told me that one’s bad qualities can be used towards God. You also said that lust can only be directed towards God (male form) and not towards the Goddess. You have also said that homosexual relations with God are not allowable because it is not God’s will. Then why did Lord Kṛṣṇa have extramarital affairs with the Gopikās which is also not God’s will?]

Swāmi replied: I have explained this n-number of times, bringing out the special points of God’s case. I have also explained this point again at the end of the answer given to the question asked by Kishore Ram (Click here to read →). Please see that.

Homosexuality is the nature of ignorant animals. It is also undivine because it does not expand the human race. Even the sages who were overwhelmed by the beauty of Śrī Rāma wanted to become ladies and embrace God Rāma. God has expressed His beauty in only a few Incarnations like Rāma and Kṛṣṇa, in order to remove the ego of some handsome men. Actually, physical beauty is not the real beauty since it disappears in old age. The internal beauty of the soul’s qualities alone is eternal and real. It stays with the soul in every birth. As per sage Vālmīki, Hanumān was more beautiful than Rāma, from the point of view of that eternal internal beauty. Hence, in the Rāmāyaṇam, he only named the chapter describing Hanumān’s story as Sundara Kāṇḍa, which means the beautiful chapter. He never named any other chapter describing Rāma’s story as Sundara Kāṇḍa. Several Incarnations of God are not externally beautiful. Hayagrīva is an Incarnation of the beautiful God Viṣṇu, having the face of a horse. God always stresses on the eternal internal beauty. Subrahmaṇya is very beautiful. Gaṇapati is not beautiful. But God Śiva gave the Lordship of the gaṇas (devoted servants of Lord Śiva) to Gaṇapati and not to Subrahmaṇya. Subrahmaṇya is always short-tempered, whereas, Gaṇapati is always peaceful.
