Krsna comes, therefore, personally appears and exhibits His enjoying love in Vrndavana. He brings His friends, His girlfriends, boyfriends, everything, His father, His mother, and shows that “The enjoyment which you are seeking, that is there in the spiritual world with Me. See how I am enjoying.” Just so that we may have our brain clear that if we enjoy with Krsna, we can enjoy the dance, the paternal love, the conjugal love, the friendly playing with boys, with animals, who is in the garden, in the forest, in the water — same thing is there. Everything is there, all the sporting, but spiritual. So this is Krsna’s lila.
