We shall continue with the opening couplets from ‘Radha Govind Geet’ – ‘Dainya Madhuri’.
Couplet 14
Radhe dekhe Govind Govind Radhe
Humko bhi dekhe kou ja ke bata de
Jagadguru Shri Kripaluji Maharaj says,
“Shri Radha has her eyes constantly fixed on Shri Krishna. She is always gazing at her soul beloved.”
The beauty and grandeur of Shri Radha is impossible even for Shri Krishna to behold or explain! Such is the greatest of their divine leela.
In such a situation, Shri Kripaluji Maharaj says, “When both Shri Radha and Shri Krishna are locked in their leela of loving glances and gazing, what becomes of me!”
“Please go and tell them to grace me with a fleeting glance!”
Jagadguru Shri Kripaluji is surely the most romantic of the rasik saints, laced with his cutting edge philosophical principles. The poetry of love and romance in the realm of spirituality is so deep, that one cannot express it purely in words.
Shri Maharajji is speaking on behalf of the devotee in this couplet encompassing multiple dimensions at the same time!
Even in our material world, when we see a couple lost in love with their eyes fixed on each other, friends around them would joking remark, ‘Hello!! Are you guys blind? Look at us, we are also here!”
The friends feel left out and are reminding the couple to at least look at them if not speak!
In the same tone, Shree Maharajji says (on behalf of a devotee), “Oh Shri Radha and Krishna, just have a momentary glance at me!”
What becomes of a devotee who has the greatest of fortunes when Shri Radha and Krishna, out of their causeless grace, look towards him?
The devotee is for ever gratified and receives their divine love for eternity. He receives the divine vision of Shri Radha Krishna and a momentary glance is enough for the deserving devotee. He becomes a God-realized soul and blissful for ever.
That is reason Shri Maharajji is requesting Shri Radha Krishna to look at their devotees who are crying for their divine vision. If they glance, the devotee is freed from the clutches of Maya and will forever relish the nectar of divine bliss by being lost in love, gazing at the eyes of his beloved Shri Radha Krishna!
Such is the deep philosophical and romantic treasure hidden in just two simple lines!
Jagadguru Shri Kripaluji Maharaj Ki JAI !!!
