Sri Krsna dá o exemplo e segue todas as regras e regulações.
Também, Seus devotos dão o exemplo e seguem todas as regras e regulações.
E também seguem-nas porque é favorável ao seu serviço espontâneo (Raganuga).
E no plano espiritual todos perdem-se na loucura do amor.
No "Krsna Karnamrta", Bilvamangala Thakur diz:
"Em todos os Seus passatempos, o Senhor está simultaneamente "confuso" e omnisciente."
Podem os habitantes de Vrndavana manifestar Aisvarya Jnana quando precensiam as proezas incomuns de Sri Krsna, ou estão sempre absortos em Madhurya Jnana?
Podem Aisvarya Jnana e Madhurya Jnana manifestarem-se em simultâneo?
O que ocorre quando Mãe Yasoda ouve falar que seu filho é a Pessoa Suprema?
Em Vrndavana, Krsna sabe que é Deus?
Se Krsna está enlouquecido de amor por Seus devotos, quem aceita as orações do número ilimitado de Vaisnavas?
Tudo isto esta primorosamente respondido na parte Dvitiya Prakasha (Segunda Difusão) do Sri Sri Raga Vartma Candrika de Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur:
Dvitiya Prakasha (Second Diffusion)
Sri Shyamasundara is always so absorbed in His pastimes with the beautiful girls of Vraja who have accepted Cupid as their friend, that He is not aware of any loss, exhaustion, household duties, danger, fear, worry or defeat by His enemies. From all this we can understand that He has no chance to think of anyone else but Srimati Radharani and the gopis of Vraja, since He is bewildered by His loving pastimes with them.
How will He then accept the service rendered to Him by the countless raganuga devotees who come to Him from different directions and from different countries? Who will listen to all the different prayers that are offered to Him? One may offer the solution that Krishna's expansion, the Supersoul who lives in everyone’s heart, listens, and that the expansion and the origin are actually one, but that will hurt the raganuga bhakta’s heart very much.
What is then the solution?
The answer can be found in the words of Uddhava. He says: “O Lord! When You considered whether or not it was proper to kill Jarasandha and to go to the Rajasuya sacrifice You called me to You and said ‘O Uddhava! What should I do now?’ like a bewildered person. You bewildered me at that time, acting like an ignorant, yet omniscient man who needed advice from a counsellor, although You are not conditioned by time and space and You are full of causeless knowledge eternally.”
But if someone will explain that in this case You seemed bewildered, but actually You weren’t, then that is also not right, because Your activities are without endeavour and Your birth is birthless — amidst all these words, this proposal is useless.
Therefore we should not explain it in the latter way. We must accept that just as Krishna is sometimes bewildered in His Dvaraka pastimes, although he is omniscient, similarly by His inconceivable potency He is sometimes omniscient in His Vrindavana pastimes, although He is bewildered. We must therefore accept the words of Bilvamangala Thakura in Krishna Karnamrta “in all His pastimes the Lord is simultaneously bewildered and omniscient.”
Now follows the description of the devotees who are fixed in their conception of Krishna as the Supreme Lord ( aishvarya jñana nistha bhaktah). Vasudeva tells Krishna and Balarama in Srimad Bhagavatam: “You are not our sons, but You are directly the Supreme Personality of Godhead.” And when Arjuna sees Krishna's Universal Form in Bhagavad Gita chapter 11, he says: “O Krishna! Please forgive me for whatever I may have said to You in the past due to love and bewilderment!”
From these examples we can see that their respective feelings of parental and fraternal love towards Krishna were slackened after seeing His divine prowess. This is called aishvarya jñana. And madhurya jñana is that mood which does not cause a heart attack or even the slightest feelings of awe after seeing some display of his prowess, because feelings of intimacy are already firmly established in the heart. For example, the gopis described Krishna as follows in Srimad Bhagavatam 10th canto chapter 35, when He returned to the village after herding His cows in the forest: “ Krishna is being praised by demigods who surround Him and worship Him with songs and flowers” and “on the way Brahma and other demigods praise His feet.”
Despite the fact that Sr…dama and Sudama and the other cowherd boys saw the demigods offering prayers and flowers to Krishna, there was not the slightest slackening of their pure fraternal love for Him visible in them, and the beautiful girls of Vraja remained fixed in their sweet romantic feelings for him despite hearing about His prowess. In the same way the pure parental love of Mother Yashoda was not diminished even slightly despite Nanda Maharaja’s consoling words to Vrajvasis. Her love for Krishna rather increased and thoughts like: “I am blessed that my son is the Supreme Lord Himself” appeared in her heart. Even a mundane mother whose son becomes the ruler of the world still shows her motherly love for him.
The intimate moods of the cowherd boys, who may think: “We are blessed that out friend is the Supreme Lord,” and the gopis, who may think: “we are also blessed that our beloved is the Supreme Lord,” are rather strengthened when they hear about Krishna's divine prowess.
In times of meeting aishvarya jñana is not fully manifest. The moonrays of union are very cool, but the time of separation is as hot as the sunsrays. These statements fully reveal aishvarya jñana. Nevertheless, if there is no reverence that causes a heart attack and the resultant esteem during the manifestation of aishvarya jñana, then it cannot be really accepted as aishvarya jñana. “In His descent as Rama He pierced the king of monkeys Bali like a hunter. An ordinary hunter kills creatures because He likes the meat, but He killed Bali without any reason, so He is even more cruel than a hunter. Again, being controlled by a woman (His wife Sita) He cut Surpanakha’s nose and ears off. In His descent as Vamana He accepted the worship of Bali Maharaja like a crow and then bound him up. Therefore there’s no need for us to make friends with dark-complexioned men. But still it is difficult to stop talking about Him!”
Before Krishna lifts Govardhana Hill the Vrajavasis were not aware of His divinity, but after He lifted Govardhana Hill and had gone to Varuna-loka, the hearts of Vrajbasis were, after initially realising Him to be the Lord Himself, at once filled with sweet feeling of love towards him. One has never heard even a single word like: “You are not our sons, You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead: from the mouth of Nanda Maharaja, like they were spoken by Vasudeva to Krishna and Balarama, even after he had heard from Varian and Uddhava that Krishna is the Supreme Lord.
Therefore the Vrajvasis were always full of Madhurya jñana, but Krishna's associates in Dvaraka were filled with aishvarya jñana mixed with madhurya jñana.
