Bhavena mugdha chapalena vilokanena
Man maanase kimapi chapala mudhmahantam
Lolena lochana rasaayana mikshanena
Leela kisora mupaguhita mutsu kaasmaha
The form of Balakrishna presents itself again and again in the mental Vision of poet Leela Shuka! It is absolutely impossible for him to turn away his attention from the Divine delectable form. This time Krishna is shining with His pure moon like face! He is the ocean of compassion and His captivating music from the flute is heavenly and indescribable! The poet is in deep samaadhi but is very happy to be disturbed by the wafting music from the flute of his Lord Krishna!
Krishna's looks are so beautiful that the poet is unable to get distracted! The looks are changing for every second. Every changing look indicates a bhava or mood! His gestures, moods and the chemistry of His unstable looks have stolen the heart of Leela Shuka! The figure of Balakrishna is so tempting and tantalizing that the poet is enthusiastic lock the Lord in his warm and fast embrace!
The leelas or Divine sports of child Krishna are innumerable and they are beautifully describe in the Bhagavata purana. The Gopikas would go to mother Yosoda and complain to her about atrocities committed by Balakrishna! They said that Krishna would not allow milk and curd remain in their homes. He would come with His band of companions and manage to get up and steal the butter kept high! He would pretend as if he is embodiment of honesty and right conduct! He would appear absolutely innocent! The Gopikas told Yasoda that they would leave Gokulam for other places if the mischief of Krishna continued unabated!
Yasoda was much disturbed at these complaints against her darling Krishna! But her inordinate affection prevented her from punishing her mischievous son. But this was too much for her. She decided to punish the little Lord! She took hold of him, dragged him to a pillar, and got a rope to tie him up! Can she fasten the Lord who is the Creator, protector and destroyer of the universe? That is the Maya or illusion created by the Lord Himself! Krishna followed His mother slowly but unwillingly. Yasoda took the rope and brought it round the Lord to fasten Him! But it fell short! She brought a different rope, but that too fell shot by a few inches! Yosoda was tired in attempting to tie up the Lord who can never be tied up by any one! Krishna was sorry to see His mother totally tired and dejected! Out of His compassion He allowed Himself to be fastened to the pillar to satisfy His mother Yasoda! She was happy and admonished Krishna and asked Him not to repeat the mischief!
The charm and attraction of Balakrishna was too much for all in Gokulam, and particularly to Yasoda! They were a little harassed by the mischievous acts of little Krishna but mainly refrained from complaining or punishing Him. He was so sweet and appeared so innocent that He became the darling of all in the Gokulam! It was with great reluctance that they went to complain to Yasoda! No wonder, poet Leela Shuka, in his deep devotion is enthralled by the Divine Beauty of Balakrishna! What is the object of meditation and samadhi? It is for the purpose of realizing the Satchidananda Swarupa, the form of God! When such a form presents itself in the mind of Leela Shuka, what more can he expect? Of what use is Samadhi? Is it not better to run after the Lord and hug Him fast in a warm embrace? What more experience can a Sadhaka aspire for? It is very rarely that such visions and experience occur to individuals! Leela Shuka is one such rare devotional poet!
