​After Uddhav sees the gopis’ exalted love for Krishna, why does he still speak about Krishna to them?

Answer Podcast

So Yudhishthira comes to Vrindavan There he feels that He sees the exalted love of the Vrajavasis And he feels that now what can I do for them They Already have this exalted love And how can I pacify them Basically So Actually there is Even when there is Separation We are going to speak this in the next class But I will speak a few points here That In the Damodara Ashtakam Sanatana Goswami has written a commentary for that And there he says that In the Fifth text Fourth and fifth text there is a prayer that Let my mind be absorbed in remembering you And I don’t want Any other remembrance Except you Thousands of other blessings are of no use To me What else There he is saying Let there be the remembrance of Krishna within my heart And the same thing he elaborates in the next verse also Now after that In the sixth verse He is actually saying that I want to see you with these eyes With these eyes I want to see you Sanatana Goswami explains there that Actually remember that Seeing Krishna in the heart Is wonderful It is also a very exalted stage But still a devotee desires to see Krishna directly Sakshat With the eyes And That is an aspiration That is also an exalted aspiration of the heart So when we say love and separation is a very exalted emotion So Separation Is anticipated When will there be union When will there be union So he is caught in a dilemma When he sees the Brajwasis That I have to pacify them So How do I pacify them actually So Initially he doesn’t know about the glory of the Love of the Brajwasis Therefore he thinks that maybe I can give them some If they are feeling separation from Krishna They may be thinking of Krishna as You know as their own child And let’s say they are feeling separation I will give them spiritual knowledge I will give them knowledge about Krishna’s omnipresence And then they can sense Krishna’s presence And they can be satisfied by that But when he actually sees them he says that They are at such a high level I cannot give them that knowledge I cannot do that for them They are already transcendent so what can I do for them So eventually What he does for them is Especially not just for Mahakrishna Actually for the Gopis He speaks Krishna’s message to them And he doesn’t just speak that message He actually elaborates that message And through that He stimulates their remembrance They are already remembering Krishna But when we love someone We want to know more and more about that person So by Giving them more More content By which to remember Krishna He relieves the separation of their heart He of course assures them that Krishna as I said I will come back and he will come soon But till he comes He relieves the feeling of separation By giving them More absorption in Krishna By speaking about Krishna So actually he realizes that Their love for Krishna is much much Greater than my love And so in that sense The Uddhava Gita That section, not Uddhava Gita The Uddhava Sandesh Upakhyan That section of the Bhagavatam where Uddhava Was in the message, that is actually In one sense A conflict Or a confrontation Between Aishwarya Bhakti And Madhurya Bhakti So Uddhava is in the mood of Aishwarya And Rajwas is in the mood of Madhurya And he says that I just want to become A Shirab in Vrindavan so that I can get the dust On the Gopi’s feet So that how the Madhurya Bhakti is much much Higher, Uddhava recognizes that But then he has also got a service So he assists in that service By speaking about Krishna’s pastimes So his plan is Initially to speak about Krishna’s omnipresence He thinks I can elevate them to a higher level But he thinks they are at such a higher level So all that I can do is speak Krishna’s pastimes By speaking Krishna’s pastimes He Relieves their separation to some extent Because he gives them more Memories of Krishna Does it answer your question?
