Why does Krishna keep flute with him?
Lord Krishna is expert in 16
aspects. His personality encompasses different aspects of life. These include
His rasa dance and the flute. It is believed that He started playing flute when
He was taking the calves to the forest. In the book Radha Madhav Chintan it is
stated that all the Gopis contacted the flute and asked her what type of
austerities it has performed that it is always in contact with Krishna's
transcendental lips. "You always enjoy the nectar from His lips. You make
Him dance and make Him stand on one leg. When He fiddles you with His fingers
it seems He is massaging your legs. He makes you sleep on His hands and His
lips are your pillows. When His hairs fly in the breeze it seems they are
fanning you. Even Radharani expressed Her envy as She thought that Krishna
loves the flute more than Her.
The flute replied," I
got my body cut. The they drilled me and made me hollow and then they made
holes in me and the real secret is that I surrendered to Him and allowed Him to
play on me as He wants. The difference between me and you is that I go by
Krishna's desire and you all want Krishna to act as per your desire.
Note: There are three reasons
for Krishna's love for the flute.
a. The flute has no knots - means she is very straight. No complexity. No feeling of revenge or gettingbackatadversities.
b. She makes sound only when played - means no useless talk.
c, Whenever it produces sound it is always sweet. If we also develop these qualities we can also become dear to Krishna.
