What does Lord Krishna say

Description

The late Sathya Sai Baba was fond of recounting the story of Sri Krishna allegedly stealing butter. The Srimad Bhagavatam, for example, records the fact that Sri Krishna would stealthily eat the butter that was stored in the houses of the gopis. According to Sathya Sai Baba, there is a deep significance contained in this behaviour and it is not often easily understood: "Did he go about stealing butter because He had no butter at home? It is not butter He coveted; it is the cream of virtue kept in the heart (pot) that he wanted. That cream is the genuine atma, secured after vigorous churning. And was it really stealing that he indulged in? He is ‘Hari', He who robs, He who appropriates. He sees all, but is Himself unseen. As soon as He enters, you awake and your inner consciousness is alerted." Read more at: https://www.deccanherald.com/content/279946/what-does-lord-krishna-say.html
