He tried to break all the concepts. The first concept He broke was that you have to be like an ascetic in looks. He broke this concept. He lived like the king. In His childhood, He used to go and play with the cows and there He would use a peacock’s feather to decorate Himself. And He would listen to the beautiful music of the River Yamuna and reproduce it. He was leela. He was the one who created all kinds of mirth.... Mirth is something where you feel tickled. So He tried to create mirth, never seriousness. But He was not frivolous. He was Yogeshwara. He was not frivolous, so this difference between frivolity and mirth is to be understood only through Him because He is also discretion. Mirth is joy-giving. Frivolity is destructive.... Life is for us to enjoy, nothing else. But because we are not free people, we cannot enjoy. There is no bondage of any evil thought which keeps you down. It is so subtle, but penetrating into everything that is gross. That is Shri Krishna’s beautiful flute which creates a picture of the nature. The description, the whole thing becomes silent like a picture. (23 August 1986)
