[I read in some newspaper, some time back, that a woman killed her issues for the sake of her illegal sexual relationship. Does this example support that illegal relationship is more powerful than legal relationship?]
Swami Replied:- Gopikas did not kill their issues for the sake of illegitimate relationship with Krishna. These Gopikas gave the butter preserved for their issues to Krishna. When such pious example is there for the same concept, why shall we take that example of a woman demon for the same concept? Moreover, that woman did such a worst thing to violate the Pravrutti constitution and not for the Nivrutti. Even if she does such a horrible sin, God will not relish that and will punish the woman with horrible punishment. Of course, we have some examples in which devotees tried to sacrifice their issues by killing them for the sake of God. Shiriyala sacrificed his son for the sake of God, but, God immediately gave life to his son. Similarly, in the case of Abraham, God stopped killing his son even though Abraham raised his sword to cut his son. Gopikas were Sages, who were worshipped even by angels. That woman is worse than even demons since demons also will not kill their issues in this way!
