(Knowledge of Means of Yoga)
The top most problem for any soul is suffering with miseries in this world as well as in the hell after death. Even if enjoyment of pleasures is absent, it does not make any big difference.

[Shri Kishore Ram asked: Paadanamaskaram Swamiji, The word ‘I’ (aham) is connected to the soul, not the body.

By doing so, the soul can reach God instead of falling into hell — without the need to completely suppress the feeling itself. At the same time, You said that this drama was also a test of the Gopikas’ attachment...
