THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Lord Krishna's friend Uddhava, was adept in the Path of Knowledge. He approached Krishna so that he can teach it to the cowherds. Krishna smiled and said, "Devotion and purity are fundamental to Gopikas – they are in Me, I am always enshrined in their hearts, you may not understand it!" Uddhava wasn't convinced, so Lord Krishna sent him to Gokul. Uddhava said to them, "Let me teach you the path of wisdom to realize the Divine". The Gopikas admonished Uddhava, "We don't want to waste time on Yogas and Scriptures. Krishna is everything to us, give us one simple means." Confused, Uddhava, now asked the Gopikas, "How would you become one with Krishna?" The innocent Gopikas responded, "If Krishna were a flower, I would be a bee whirling around Him. If Krishna were the mountain, I will become a river. If He is the deep ocean, I will be a small stream, joining Him". Uddhava then understood that Gopikas always tuned themselves to adore the Lord, anywhere and everywhere. (Divine Discourse, 'My Dear Students', Vol 2, Ch 3.)
