So the point is that superficially it may appear sometimes against the social and religious rules and regulation, but if it is done for Kṛṣṇa, ānukūlyena . . . bhakti means ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānu-śīlanam (CC Madhya 19.167). Kṛṣṇa should be satisfied. That is . . . it doesn't matter.

Prahlāda Mahārāja was standing without any protest, and his father is being killed. Now can any sane man see that his father is being killed and he's standing silently, without any protest? And Bali Mahārāja, he rejected his spiritual master. When Śukrācārya said that, "Don't promise. He's Viṣṇu. He'll take everything of your. Don't promise anything," Bali Mahārāja said: "He is Viṣṇu? And you are asking me not to promise to Him? Oh, I don't want such spiritual master. I reject you." To reject spiritual master is a great sin.

So these are, from social point of view, from religious point of view, these are irreligious, sinful activities: to reject one's spiritual master; to see one's father being killed in one's presence; one woman is going to another boy, dead of night. Superficially they are sinful activities. But Caitanya Mahāprabhu recommends, ramyā kācid upāsanā vraja-vadhū-vargeṇa yā kalpitā (Caitanya-manjusa). There is no upāsanā, method of worship, as it was conceived by the gopīs. First class.

So the point is that superficially it may appear sometimes against the social and religious rules and regulation, but if it is done for Kṛṣṇa, ānukūlyena . . . bhakti means ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānu-śīlanam (CC Madhya 19.167). Kṛṣṇa should be satisfied. That is . . . it doesn't matter.

Kṛṣṇa should be satisfied. Just like Kṛṣṇa pretended that He was sick, and many physicians came. He said: "No physician cured Me. If some devotee gives Me the dust of his feet on My head, then I can be cured." So all devotees were asked, and nobody . . . "Oh! How can I give? My dust on the head of Kṛṣṇa? How it is possible?" Nobody prepared.

Then Kṛṣṇa asked that, "Go to Vṛndāvana. Just ask the gopīs if they can give. They are My best friends. If they are prepared? Oh, I am very much suffering from headache." So nobody was prepared to go . . . as soon as gopīs were approached: "Oh, Kṛṣṇa is sick. They want, oh, dust of . . .?"

Immediately (makes gestures of wiping dust) "Please take. Please take." (laughter) She did not care that, "We are going to hell by offering our dust of feet on the head of Kṛṣṇa. Never mind. We shall go. Kṛṣṇa will be happy. That's all. Kṛṣṇa will be happy." This is gopī.
