As soon as there is question of enjoyment, there must be other party. You cannot enjoy alone. That is not possible. There must be other party. So you enjoy your life with Kṛṣṇa—either in sakhya-rasa or dāsya-rasa or vātsalya-rasa or ghastly rasa. Just like . . . (indistinct) . . . Bhīṣmadeva, he enjoyed Kṛṣṇa's association by ghastly rasa. As I was going to explain, that he decided to kill Arjuna with two proposition that, "Either this day I shall kill Arjuna, or Kṛṣṇa has to break His promise and . . . to save His friend." That was his promise. So when Bhīṣmadeva was trying to kill Arjuna, his ratha, his chariot, became shattered and Arjuna fell down. So when Kṛṣṇa saw, "Now Kṛṣṇa . . . Arjuna is going to die," so immediately He took one wheel of the chariot and immediately appeared before Bhīṣmadeva, "Stop fighting; otherwise, I am going to kill you." So immediately Bhīṣmadeva gave up his weapons.

As soon as we see a person who is not a surrendered soul to Kṛṣṇa, or God, then what he is? He is duṣkṛtinaḥ, full of sinful activities. Anyone who does not surrender to God, or Kṛṣṇa, he is . . . what he is? He must be either of these groups: duṣkṛtinaḥ, always sinful; mūḍha, rascal, asses; na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ narādhamāḥ (BG 7.15), lowest of the mankind; and māyayāpahṛta-jñānā. If you say, "There are so many educated person. They're not surrendering to Kṛṣṇa, or God. They're godless. So they have no value?" No, no value, actually, because their actual knowledge has been taken away. Māyayāpahṛta-jñānā. Why? Āsurī-bhāvam āśritāḥ. Because they're following the philosophy of atheism. That's all. This is the root cause.

So Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu, this Nectar of Devotion, is giving us the hint that after all, you want to enjoy life. That is your purpose. Actually, everyone's mission is that. But you cannot enjoy. As soon as there is question of enjoyment, there must be other party. You cannot enjoy alone. That is not possible. There must be other party. So you enjoy your life with Kṛṣṇa—either in sakhya-rasa or dāsya-rasa or vātsalya-rasa or ghastly rasa.

So this is not breaking His promise, but this is another rasa, that Kṛṣṇa wanted to show Bhīṣma that, "You wanted to break My promise. Now see, I am . . . I have broken My promise. Are you all right?" (laughter) He wanted to please His devotee. That's all. Otherwise, Kṛṣṇa could kill many millions of Bhīṣma, standing there only. But He came before him that, "You wanted to break My promise. Now you see, I have broken My promise. But I have not taken My disc. Then this wheel I have taken. Please stop." So immediately he gave up his weapons.
