And Krishna's life can be of tremendous help in this adventure. Self discovery, and not assimilation or imitation, is what you have to seek. Krishna's life can help you in self discovery, which is of the highest. You don't have to copy Krishna's dance, you have only to know the law that helped him to find his dance and be fulfilled. Your dance will be different, it will be your own you will uncover your own innate dance. It is not that you will dance the way Krishna dances. If Krishna can flower, why not you? If Krishna's self-nature can blossom, why should you go on withering and wasting as you do? If Krishna can laugh and sing and dance, why should you continue to shed tears and be miserable? Krishna's life can give you a cue, a clue to know yourself and come to yourself. You certainly have to understand how Krishna attains to his naturalness and spontaneity, so that you can come to your own naturalness and spontaneity.
You certainly have to know how a person like Krishna is fulfilled and also know the laws of this fulfillment. And one should understand him, not with a view to imbibe and imitate him, to be his carbon-copy, but to understand himself and be himself. Trying to be like him is utterly uncalled for. No, it is enough if one understands Krishna.
