इदं ते नातपस्काय नाभक्ताय कदाचन |
न चाशुश्रूषवे वाच्यं न च मां योऽभ्यसूयति ||Idaṁ te nātapaskāya nābhaktāya kadāchan,
Na chāśhuśhrūṣhave vāchyaṁ na cha māṁ yo ‘bhyasūyati.- Gita 18.67
“You need to live a life of sacrifice to enjoy My ras (Divine nectar of love).”
So in this manner, Putana (the demoness who tried to poison Krishna), now comes back to her original form.
“Here, this is who I am! Nobody is here to protect and save me. And You, little one, I know You are not that little one. You are the same (God). Now, now please, please, now give me Your love, give me Your bliss!”
She is so thrilled and immersed in the love while Shree Krishna is drinking the milk that Krishna says,
“Okay, I better liberate her now and free her from this form and this life!”
So Shree Krishna, He takes the life of Putana and places Putana in Golok, in His Divine abode, where the place was reserved for Maiya Yashoda (Krishna’s foster mother). Maiya Yashoda gave all the nectarine milk, all the love, and here place is given to the lady, a demon, who gave poisonous milk.
Yes, this is how merciful Krishna is! Shukhdev Paramahans (a realized Saint absorbed in Divine bliss), immediately wakes up from his samadhi (deep absorption); his samadhi breaks.
“Huh! Oh, then there is a chance! Oh, (there’s) a chance for me also! No matter how fallen, ugly, whatever I am, the Lord will accept me!”
He is ocean of mercy! When He could grace Putana and give the position of Maiya Yashoda in Golok, rather than sentencing her to narak,to hell. Putana who came to feed Him with poisonous milk!
“Then He will accept me! I am not making Him drink poison or something.”
“Where did you hear this?” He cried out to those disciples. “Where did you hear all this? Come on, take me there.”
The disciple says, “Yes, come, follow, follow, follow.” They took Shukhdev Paramahans to Maharishi Ved Vyas’s (the sage who compiled the Vedas) ashram (hermitage), and that’s where Shukhdev Paramahans gets immersed while drinking the Bhagawat Mahapuran (scripture narrating Krishna’s Divine pastimes).
