Only bhakti gives liberation. Liberation is not gained by jnana. The jnani falls, the bhakta does not fall, with bhakti there is no loss. Radha is the supreme devotee. Krsna feels indebted to Her. Krsna corresponds with the devotee according to the devotee’s surrender. Since the devotion of the gopis is complete, Krsna feels indebted. Krsna is controlled only by the prema of Vraja. The mighty elephant is controlled by the goad. The mighty elephant, Sri Krsna, is controlled only by the...
