Shree Maharaj Ji is saying, “Yes, He is God, but He is also God. Don’t say that He is not only God; He is also God.”
Like a Prime Minister is not only a Prime Minister. He is the father of his son, he is the husband of his wife, and he is the son of his mother as well. When he goes back home from his office, then if he also wants them to respect him like a Prime Minister, then nobody would care. His wife, although she does not know anything about the politics of the country, she has no knowledge and she is not that educated as well, would also suggest to him,
“You should do that!”
If there is any problem, some problem at the world level, even then she will reach over there to give a suggestion,
“You should not do that! You should do that!”
“Why? You know more than me? I am Prime Minister! You are just cooking food at home. How do you know what I should do with other countries or what I should not do?”
But this is nature; this is her right. She doesn’t accept him as a Prime Minister. She only knows,
“He is my husband.”
The mother always says to her son, no matter whether he is Prime Minister or President or whatever,
“You have grown up so much, but still you have no brain. You cannot decide anything correctly!”
Mother always says that. The child will immediately go and directly sit in his lap. Here he cannot say,
“I am Prime Minister! Speak to me like this! How are you saying that?”
“No, no. If you have this ego, go to the office and sit down there. Don’t come home!”
In the same way, Shree Krishna is God, but we don’t accept Him. We don’t accept that form of God of Shree Krishna. Take it out. We know only one thing - how should we worship Shree Krishna? He is mine, and I am His alone. We have to increase this feeling, “He is mine, He is mine.” Then we can perform devotion.
When Lord Krishna came back to the Gopis (milkmaids of Braj) at the time of Mahārās (the Divine dance of Radha Krishna and unlimited numbers of Gopis when Krishna multiplied Himself in unlimited forms), He disappeared. Then the Gopis, along with Shree Radharani, were all bewailing. They were crying intensely. They were remembering Shree Krishna all the time. At the same time, they sang the Gopi Geet (the song of the Gopis) as well.
After that, when Shree Krishna came back in the form of God with four arms, the Gopis, who had been crying bitterly, immediately drew their veils and said,
“Who are you? Why did you come here? Go away from here! All the ladies are sitting here. We are not in a good condition also. We are suffering from virah (separation), and you came just like that. Get out from here!”
Shree Krishna said, “You were crying for Me for such a long time. You were remembering Me all the time. Now I have come, and you are saying, “‘Get out from here!””
They said, “Yes, we were crying for our Priyatam (beloved)! We are crying for our Priyatam Shyamsundar.”
He said, “I am your Priyatam Shyamsundar!”
“No, no, no! Our Priyatam Shyamsundar is not so horrible with four arms and this and that! He is so beautiful! His body is so soft, so beautiful! You are looking very horrible. We cannot accept you! How can you say that you are our Priyatam? Go and see your face in the mirror first, and compare it with the face of our Shyamsundar.”
Then Shyamsundar had to come in His own form. Only then did the Gopis accept Him.
So if the form of God is fearful we cannot love it.
