(Songs of God Krishna On Cowherd Lady)
31) Sages called Me as king of yoga,
I call Gopi as the queen of yoga. (Chorus)
Our love is pure fire that burns all the sins,
Yama punishing sins saluted feet of Gopi.
All her torture here is created by Me only,
To test strength of her firm devotion to Me.
She threw out all hurdles created by Me in no time,
Hence, she is called by Me as the real avadhuuta.
She left concern for prestige here and fear for hell there,
I happened to be root-cause, is there test more than this?
She knew that I am the ultimate God in human form,
She retained that flash of thought from past birth.
[Sage Narada in his Bhakti Sutra says that Gopikaa is aware that Krishna is God (maahaatmya jnaana...) since such thought was very strong and the power of penance of the sage (Gopikaa) was also very strong. In the past birth, the sages recognized Rama as the contemporary human incarnation of God.]
We both know that I am God and that she is the ancient sage,
Critics must know these two points before criticizing our love.
32) Sages told here that whatever pleases God,
That alone, must be the essence of justice. (Chorus)
You are enjoying this creation, which God created,
You, the enjoyer is also created by the same God.
Is it not your first duty to express your gratefulness
To the creator by pleasing Him, which is the justice?
The sages, authors of ethical scriptures, born as Gopikaas,
Proved this concept practically that it is ultimate justice.
33) Merit is that, which pleases God,
Sin is that, which displeases God. (Chorus)
Fruit of any justice is that God is pleased by that,
Fruit of any injustice is that God is furious by that.
God has no desire, He is fully contented as Veda says,
As said by Me in the Gita also, I desire just to test you.
(Aaptakaamasya... Veda, Naanavaaptam… Gita)
Grandfather brought packet of biscuits for grandson,
While eating he asks for a bit from grandson to test.
The basic for the test is that ‘nothing and none is equal,
To God’- must be followed by devotee in ultimate stage.
(The Veda says the same – Na tatsamashchaabhyadhikashcha…)
34) Lotus is in the hand of black God,
Black bee is in the heart of lotus. (Chorus)
Every sage born as Gopikaa is a lotus flower,
My hand is the link between Me and My lotus.
My hand lifts up the deserving lotus from world-mud pond,
I enjoy by smelling the devotion-scent of lotus in My hand.
Lotus with thousand petals is the intelligence doing analysis,
In many ways and decides the truth, it is the top most brain.
Lotus also means heart, the stage of devotion to the God,
Both indicate theoretical knowledge and devotion to Me.
I am in Gopikaa like the black bee hiding in the lotus flower,
Bee is fond of its strong scent, I am fond of her mad love.
Kundalini is mind moving in waves like serpent in curved ways,
Mind always doubts, finally disappears in intelligence-decision.
Mind bee sleeps in six lotus-worldly bonds by scent-fascination,
Mind swimmer is caught in six whirlpools in this world-ocean.
Mind must travel like curved serpent-waves to escape wheels,
Rotating to cut straight passing, thorn is plucked by thorn only.
No sin to tackle worldly bonds in curved way for the sake of God,
Sin is to cheat legal worldly bonds for the sake of illegal bonds.
35) As the distance increased between You and Me,
Our love on each other also increased, O Gopi! (Chorus)
Our love was high in Brunda, higher as I went to Madhura,
It became highest as I went to Dwaarakaa, separation helps.
This Dwaarakaa city is in the centre of ocean,
Like My burning heart in centre of separation.
All the eight wives surround Me here always,
But, My mind goes to Brunda every minute.
Even in final dissolution of world I see with smile,
But, in your separation I always weep in My heart.
When all My wives sleep, I awake in your thoughts,
Go to upstairs, sing on flute about My love to you.
As sage, you looked Me only in every atom of creation,
Now, I also look you only in every atom of this creation.
Cupid is My son only, but, he hits Me also with arrows,
I kiss this air in your illusion, I never miss you anywhere.
You fear for all your family members to express love on Me,
But, I fear only from Satyabhaama to express My love on you.
You did not drop your worldly bonds by any effort,
Those dropped naturally due to your attraction to Me.
Your love to Me is not developed in this birth, past many births,
You accumulated love-butter in your heart-pot by the penance.
Penance means only growth of love on God’s personality,
Not uttering My name closing eyes without food and sleep.
(This song is in Sanskrit.)
36) Padmadehaa, Padmagandhaa,
Preyasii Me, Gopabhaamaa. (Chorus)
Padmavadanaa Padmanayanaa, Padmacharana Padminii tvam,
Hrudayapadma sadmaniiha, vasasi Gopi! Vidmahe tvaam.
Padmashatru-chandiropi, Padmamitra chandabhaanuh,
Pralayakaala vahnireva, Krishnagaadhaa virahabaadhaa.
Padmagaatri! Chumbanaaya, dehi charanapadmamadya,
Duuratopi taavakaani, paadapadma chumbanaani.
(English Translation of the Above Song)
My darling is the Gopabhaamaa,
With lotus body and lotus scent. (Chorus)
You are lotus faced, lotus eyed, lotus footed - lotus creeper,
O Gopi! we know that you dwell in our lotus heart-house.
This Moon, the enemy of lotus, became friend of lotus, the Sun,
Burning Me like fire of ending world, My pain is your separation.
(Lotus sleeps on rise of Moon and hence Moon is enemy of lotus. Lotus blossoms on the rise of Sun. Since Gopi is lotus, even Moon became Sun. This means, the Moon is also very hot like Sun for Krishna.)
O lotus body! give Me your lotus feet to kiss those both,
Even from far, you kiss My lotus feet, I am feeling this.
(To be continued...)
