Text 145] The Opulence and Sweetness of Krsna 315
PURPORT
The vibration of Krsna’s flute is always prominent in the ears of the gopis.
Naturally they cannot hear anything else. Constant remembrance of the holy
sound of Krsna’s flute keeps them enlightened and enlivened, and they do not
allow any other sound to enter their ears. Since their attention is fixed on Krsna’s
flute, they-cannot divert their minds to any other subject. In other words, a devo-
tee who has heard the sound of Krsna’s flute forgets to talk or hear of any other
subject. This vibration of Krsna’s flute is represented by the Hare Krsna mahd-
mantra. A serious devotee of the Lord who chants and hears this transcendental
vibration becomes so accustomed to it that he cannot divert his attention to any
subject matter not related to Krsna’s blissful characteristics and paraphernalia.

Resuming His external consciousness, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu told
Sanatana Gosvami, ‘‘I have not spoken of what | intended. Lord Krsna is very
merciful to you because by bewildering My mind, He has exposed His per-
sonal opulence and sweetness. He has caused you to hear all these things from
Me for your understanding.
