1. Radha: greater and less than Krsna

    Have you found anyone who is greater than Krsna or equal to Krsna? No. We can find one greater — Radharani is greater than Krsna. (laughter) Yes. That is out of love. Actually, Radharani’s also lesser than Krsna. She’s dasi, maidservant. She’s always thinking how She shall be perfect dasi.

    Krsna sometimes makes Radharani greater than Him. That does not mean Radharani thinks like that. Radharani always thinks, “How I shall become a perfect maidservant of Krsna?” That is the real position of everyone.

    In the Caitanya-caritamrta you’ll find how everyone is thinking of being a servant of Krsna. That is our real position. But Krsna sometimes elevates some of His devotees.
