भगवान "भक्त वत्सल" तो है हीं मगर उससे भी उंचा गुण है "भक्त के वश" में होना
God is very fond of his devotees, but a quality even higher than that is to that He comes under the control of His devotees.

- Transcript 0:05 if you wish to love God you need to feel 0:10 that connection, He is 0:13 Mine, if all we can think of He is great 0:16 He is 0:18 Almighty we will be 0:20 fearful we will be 0:23 reverential but that intimate sentiment 0:27 of love will not get 0:31 Enhanced, like in the world a lady her 0:35 husband may be the general in the Army 0:38 to whom 100,000 people salute but 0:43 that wife she only thinks he is my 0:46 husband that is how she loves him she 0:49 puts the Aishwarya (opulence) 0:54 Aside, similarly to love God don't just 0:58 think He is God He's God He's God 1:01 otherwise you will experience 1:05 fear there are loving relationships that 1:09 you can establish with him He is God no 1:12 doubt but He has a law of 1:20 love He says as you love me I will 1:24 reciprocate 1:26 accordingly if the devote thinks oh 1:30 Krishna you are my friend come here I'll 1:33 put my arm around you Krishna says Arjun 1:38 you are my bosom buddy come 1:41 on if the devote 1:43 says oh Krishna look I will take care of 1:48 you that is my 1:52 seva bhav, my 1:54 sentiment you don't need to think about 1:57 me Krishna says Yashoda I'm putting myself 2:01 at your disposal now you are my mother 2:04 I'm all 2:05 yours so Yashoda is the mother of 2:10 God and if the devote says oh Krishna I 2:15 know no other apart from You You are my 2:19 sole 2:20 beloved Krishna says oh Gopi I am 2:24 willing to be your sole beloved this is 2:28 the specialty of our sanatan dharma 2:32 which we call 2:35 Hinduism you know Devotion to God is 2:39 taught around the 2:41 world often with the predominant 2:44 sentiment of 2:46 fear that is all very well but there is 2:49 a loving aspect of God and He subjugates 2:54 himself this the Vedas tell us that the 2:58 highest quality of God is Bhakt Vatsal 3:02 lover of his devotees 3:05 no even 3:08 higher , Bhakt Vashya He is enslaved by his 3:13 devotees 3:14 Krishna was a 4-year-old in his 3:19 leela and He has taken Avatar and is 3:23 doing His pastimes in an agrarian (agricultural) 3:26 Setting, well people live off the land 3:30 so one Gopi was working in the 3:34 field there was a pile of cow dung and she 3:37 needed to move 3:39 it when Kanhayya came and stood 3:42 there the Gopi saw and said Shyam 3:46 Sunder help me 3:48 out fill the basket with this gobar and 3:52 give it to me I'll give you a ball of 3:55 butter Krishna said really food for work 3:59 okay 4:00 He started filling it up, He loves 4:03 butter so He took it and gave it to the 4:07 gopi the Gopi said the whole pile needs 4:10 to be lifted just keep filling the 4:13 baskets and handing them to me I'll give 4:16 you one ball of butter for every basket 4:19 that you work for me Krishna said all 4:22 right you got a deal there contract 4:25 signed He started filling and handing 4:28 over the basket 4:31 but after three or four He lost count 4:34 what so He said who will keep track gopi 4:39 said that is the least of problems we'll 4:41 convert your cheek into an account book 4:44 every time you hand the basket to me 4:46 I'll take one bindi of gobar and I'll 4:49 stick it to your cheek later on we'll 4:52 count how many do you 4:54 have Krishna said you are 4:58 brilliant so He got got to work in right 5:01 earnest one cheek was filled the other 5:04 was filled the forehead was also filled 5:10 so that Lord who worshipped by the 5:26 Vedas the same Lord's face has been 5:29 covered by 5:31 Cow dung how is this happening in her love 5:36 the Gopi has forgotten that He is God 5:40 there is the love energy and the 5:42 knowledge energy the Gyan Shakti and the Para 5:47 Shakti when the love 5:49 swells the knowledge immerses in it the 5:54 devote forgets this is God otherwise the 5:58 fear will take take over and God also 6:01 forgets that He is God that is when the 6:05 loving exchanges take 6:08 place so Krishna said you know it's been 6:11 a lot of hard work I have toiled it out 6:14 now give me the 6:16 butter Gopi said what butter 6:19 it was our contract how many baskets I 6:22 lift you give me that much of butter 6:25 baba butter is not here it is at home 6:27 come now she's walking along with 6:30 Krishna she's getting the sanidhya (company) the 6:33 closeness of Krishna and she's 6:36 delighted out there at home there was 6:39 another gopi 6:41 sitting and she looked at Krishna's 6:44 face and pointed and said sakhi what have 6:48 you done to 6:49 him they both broke into laughter 6:53 Krishna said why are you laughing go and 6:56 look at your face Krishna went and 6:59 looked at his face in the mirror oh my 7:02 god what have you done He went took a 7:05 piece of wet rag wiped his face clean 7:08 and came said enough is enough give me 7:11 the butter now gopi said what butter are 7:14 you talking about you keep 7:18 forgetting our deal was as many baskets 7:22 I lift I'll get that much of butter the 7:25 gopi said look at the deal again 7:30 the contract was as many bindies are 7:33 there on your face you will get those 7:35 many balls of butter you have cleaned up 7:37 the whole account book you'll get 7:40 nothing so Krishna was about to 7:44 cry when a child begins to cry He gives 7:48 a fore 7:49 warning this chin goes up and down a few 7:53 times 7:56 then in Hindi it is said (quote) when 8:00 this mudra got created of Krishna the 8:03 gopi said all right all right don't cry 8:05 we'll give you the butter take how much 8:07 you 8:08 like these are the loving pastimes of 8:12 the Lord that give us confidence in our 8:16 bhakti that He is the master of the 8:19 universe but He is the god of love and 8:24 we can relate to him we can connect with 8:27 him how will that connection get 8:31 Created, when we decide that He is 8:38 mine this human intellect is such the 8:42 moment you decide somebody is mine the 8:47 love automatically grows 8:58 within
