The Gopis
“Good”, said the Yogi, “You understand the parallels between God and man, Consciousness and conscience, similarly, there is an episode from Krishna’s life, when he climbed a tree, and watched the Gopis as they bathed. You understand now, that the symbolism was the same- The Creator could watch any of His creation. Philosophically, the Gopis, are but your own thoughts, all of which stand bare in front of your Consciousness, like clouds under the gaze of the sky. Pure consciousness, therefore, is God, the creator. All else is the created. But, the created is also part of the creator, being its own offspring. So, the thoughts must merge into consciousness. Arjun must get absorbed in Krishna; man, must find his link with the source of creation”.
