TEXT 187

rāya kahe,--kṛṣṇa haya 'dhīra-lalita'

nirantara kāma-krīḍā--yāṅhāra carita

SYNONYMS

rāya kahe—Rāmānanda Rāya replied; kṛṣṇa—Lord Kṛṣṇa; haya—is; dhīra-lalita—a person who can keep his girlfriend always in subjugation by different qualities; nirantara—constantly; kāma-krīḍā—pastimes of sexual enjoyment; yāṅhāra—of whom; carita—the character.

TRANSLATION

Rāya Rāmānanda replied, "Lord Kṛṣṇa is dhīra-lalita, for He can always keep His girlfriends in a subjugated state. Thus His only business is enjoying sense gratification.

PURPORT

We should always remember that Kṛṣṇa's sense gratification is never to be compared to the sense gratification of the material world. As we have already explained, Kṛṣṇa's sense gratification is just like gold. The perverted reflection of that sense gratification found in the material world is just like iron. The purport is that Kṛṣṇa is not impersonal. He has all the desires that are manifest in the perverted reflection within this material world. However, the qualities are different-one is spiritual, and the other is material. Just as there is a difference between life and death, there is a difference between spiritual sense gratification and material sense gratification.
