Gopis
were silent till this point knowing that Krishna was doing everything
on purpose and there was no point in exacerbating the situation. It
is a common experience that if wife and husband both start shouting
at each other then situation becomes worse. It advisable that if one
of the two goes out of sense other should keep calm so that situation
remains under control.
When
Krishn stopped speaking, Gopis ultimately gave a befitting reply.
They
said, "First point is we can go back without any problem since
that is your wish and we want to see you happy. You should know that
senses work according to dictate of their master, mind. You have
stolen our mind with your beautiful looks, sweet words and pleasant
tune of flute. Our mind is are in your custody. Please return us our
mind so that we can give order to our legs to move towards our home."
They
continued, "Second point is that your discourse is for those who
are interested in heaven and we are not interested in heaven or any
supernatural power whatsoever. We are not worried about going to
hell. Our only aim is to see you happy.”
They
further said,’ Third and most important of all is you are the
only master of all souls, conjugal partner for all. Soul derives all
its energy from you. Soul then imparts the energy to the mind and
body. You are husband of our husbands too, not withstanding their
current male form, because every soul is depends on you just
as wife depends on husband. You are the only man in the universe
while all the souls have lady form in true sense. Whatever relations
you talked of were related to body. You are the sole relative of
every soul. You occupy each and every place no one is alien to you.
Hence you are not a third person to anyone. In fact, those who do not
think of you as their beloved are committing crime! And still you
take care of everyone by sitting in everybody's heart!"
