If God is supreme, how can God manifest as a bi-monotheism if we say that Radha Krishna both are God so how can both supreme has to be one, how can they be two yeah, I explained that ek atma dui deha dhari that there is one soul who is manifesting in two forms so it is when we say Krishna and Radha they are not two persons, actually speaking they are one person who manifest in two forms so when we say that okay there are many gods that’s polytheism, different gods will fight with each other the idea is that the two are independent realities and they are independent persons and they have their independent wills and they fight with each other but when you talk about Radha Krishna you know they within the leela they act as two distinct persons but even when Radharani manifests a contrary bhava, you know sometimes she appears to be angry with Krishna and she wants she doesn’t want to talk with Krishna she is doing that for the pleasure of Krishna so there is it is not that Radharani is when I say Radharani is Radha and Krishna are same one person manifesting as two that does not mean that Radharani is not a distinct person. For the purpose of leela, the whole spiritual world and everything that is manifested in the spiritual world is for the purpose of leela and underlying unifying reality within leela is prema, is love so everything that is manifested there is for love if we, there is we understand God through the framework of tattva and we understand God through the framework of leela and if you don’t understand this progressively then there can be a lot of confusion Krishna steals butter now stealing is a crime how can God commit a crime and you know if you want to commit a crime also, steal something valuable why steal butter of all things so actually from the tattva point of view, first you need to philosophically understand Krishna is God and Krishna he is God, he is a source of everything he is a source of all butter also so he doesn’t have to steal butter but within leela, whatever is required for the reciprocation of love, for the intensification of love he does. So Krishna acts like a mischievous child and as a mischievous child, you know what will increase the love of his devotees for him, especially those devotees on an eternal mood that is when he acts in a mischievous way he steals butter so he steals butter not because he is a thief, nor does he steal butter because he is hungry, nor does he steal butter specifically because he doesn’t understand the value of things no, he steals butter because that is the way he reciprocates love with his devotees so Radharani is also Krishna but she takes on a particular role for the reciprocation of love and she acts as a different person and she sometimes acts in a way which is pleasing to Krishna when she submits to his will and sometimes she pleases Krishna by not submitting to his will so that reciprocation of love is the fundamental reality and that reciprocation of love is what we need to focus on, you know if you try to look at the action without understanding the position then that leads to confusion so for example if a person who is a tribal who doesn’t know anything about surgery that person comes to a hospital and the hospital they say that you know ok this person is sick and then this person you know he takes out a knife and he starts cutting the stomach of a person hey he is killing, killing, stop him, stop him, stop him and other people say don’t disturb tell the relatives and then he observes his relatives, he is killing your relatives he doesn’t pay any attention not only the relatives don’t pay any attention after the person he cuts off the stomach the relatives go and pay the person say what is going on he says but the problem is he is looking at the action without understanding the position normally cutting is a crime but this is a surgeon, surgeon when cuts, cuts to him so similarly when we understand look at Krishna if we try to understand Krishna’s action without understanding his position that will lead to confusion so we need to understand the philosophy and then understand the past times ok
