so why is Krishna thirsty for our love or for a when he has so many goddesses of fortune who love him so much and our love is also contaminated because we do so many things which displease him yes that is because for Krishna every soul is special Krishna he has unlimited devotees but he has also unlimited capacity for love and that is the difference between Krishna and any other object sometimes say in this world or in movies they have a love triangle say two boys love the same girl and then that girl has to choose if she chooses one boy then she is no longer loving for the other boy so the lovers in this world are finite Krishna is infinite so Krishna can be in your heart fully available to you and Krishna can still be in my heart and be fully available to me that is what the Rasila demonstrates Krishna was with each Gopi and each Gopi felt as if Krishna is only with me so like that in the Venkateshwar Prabhatam it is said that there are hundreds and thousands of Gopis who came when Krishna played his flute on hearing his flute song and Krishna expanded himself in such a way that he was there with every single Gopi and he made every single Gopi feel loved, cherished, treasured and he says such a lord who else can I want I don’t know any lord other than such a wonderful lord so like that Krishna has unlimited exalted devotees but Krishna has a personal relationship with each one of us and he wants that relationship to develop so he wants the love of each one of us so there is when he says Krishna is thirsty for love it is not thirst in the sense of incompleteness it is thirst see it’s like you know somebody somebody may want to form a relationship because they are incomplete without someone else I am incomplete and I want to become complete but somebody else when Krishna when he wants a relationship it is not because he is incomplete it is not because he wants to remove his incompleteness rather it is because he wants to share his completeness share his completeness he is anandapurna he is full of happiness and he will share that happiness with others so Krishna is eager Prabhupada writes in the Bhagavad Gita Krishna is more eager for us to come to him than we are to go to him than we can even imagine so that is actually Krishna so his thirst for our love is because he loves each of us individually and it is not that many other devotees can substitute in our place for him because each of us has an individual unique relationship with him
