Brahmā says to Śhrī Kṛiṣhṇa

Swami Maheshwaranand Ji

Brahma says to Shri Krishna

ज्ञाने प्रयासमुदपास्य नमन्त एव जीवन्ति सन्मुखरितां भवदीयवार्ताम् । स्थाने स्थिता: श्रुतिगतां तनुवाङ्‌मनोभि-र्ये प्रायशोऽजित जितोऽप्यसि तैस्त्रिलोक्याम् ॥
Gyāne prayāsam udapāsya namanta eva jīvanti san-mukharitāṁ bhavadīya-vārtām. Sthāne sthitāḥ śhruti-gatāṁ tanu-vāṅ-manobhir ye prāyaśho ’jit jito’pyasi taistri-lokyām.

- Bhagwatam 10.14.3

Brahma was deluded. He stole all the cowherds, the friends of Shri Krishna, sakha lok, and the cows and hid them in the cave. Bhagwan Shri Krishna Himself became all the sakhas, all the cowherds and all the cows. Brahma was taught a lesson, not going to go in the kathā (the story or leela of Shri Krishn saving His gwalbals); you've heard it many times. Brahmā fell down at the feet of Shri Krishna, realizing this little boy was not a chokrā (ordinary boy), not a boy, but he was so brave, he thought he was going to cry.

Bhagwan blessed Brahma. He saw all the cows and all the cowherd boys of Shri Krishna Himself. He fell at His feet and he said, “Pure bhakti, pure love, unmixed with the desire for mokṣa, liberation, is the highest gold.” Vo sabse bara rattan hai - (it is the highest gem.)

So this is what the soul is saying, I have attained. I am not that.

कोटि कुबेर स्वस्थ मुखि लखि पियात प्रेमरस घोल।
Koti kuber sihat muhi lakhi piyat premaras ghol.

- Prem Ras Madhira, Siddhant Madhuri: 137

“I am drinking. I am drinking that Divine nectar, that Divine love. And Kuber, uncountable Kuber.” Kuber, he is a God of wealth. In heaven, he is a god of wealth. There are uncountable Kuber, uncountable Indra, uncountable Agni, uncountable Vayu, uncountable swarg. So uncountable Kuber, “Seeing me drinking this Divine love he has become very jealous, because he is a God of wealth, but he has nothing, poor fellow!” Because there is no true happiness. It's temporary.

एहि तन कर फल बिषय न भाई। स्वर्गउ स्वल्प अंत दुखदाई॥
Ehi tan kar phal bishay na bhaee. Swarg-u swalp ant dukhada-ee.

- Ramayan

Bhagwan Shri Ram is saying to the residents of Ayodhya, “This human body that we have is so valuable, so valuable. Devatas are praying for it.” Devatas, people worship Devatas, celestial gods, Indra namah swaha. Agni namah swaha. Vayu namah swaha.

Those same celestial gods are praying and begging for this human body. So Bhagwan is saying, “Such a valuable human body was not given to you to just enjoy the senses and have a good time in the world.”
