¶Īre there some people who do not find Kṛṣṇa attractive? ¶

Rascaldom is not good, but when it is practiced by Kṛṣṇa, because He is absolutely good, that rascaldom is also good.

Therefore, when He becomes a rascal, that is also good. No, rascaldom is not nice, but Kṛṣṇa is absolute. What about the rascals who are not so nice? ¶ But His rascaldom is so nice that everyone worships His rascaldom. Unless rascaldom is in Kṛṣṇa, how can it be manifest… because He is the source of everything. So unless rascaldom is in Kṛṣṇa, how could rascaldom be existent in the world? Our formula of God is that He is the source of everything. So, Rādhārāṇī was very pleased, but superficially Kṛṣṇa was the greatest rascal. Sometimes when Rādhārāṇī would go out, Kṛṣṇa would attack Her, and when She would fall down-“Kṛṣṇa, don’t torture Me in that way”-They would fall down, and Kṛṣṇa would take the opportunity and kiss Her. Because He was always teasing the gopīs. Oh, yes! He was the greatest rascal also. He must be very beautiful, He must be very wise, He must be very powerful, He must be very famous… ¶ Unless you are powerful, how can you be all-attractive? ¶ ¶īut what about a name meaning “all-powerful”? ¶ Kṛṣṇa means “all-attractive.” It includes everything. Because God is all-attractive, the name Kṛṣṇa can be applied only to Him. If a man is very beautiful, we call him “beautiful.” If a man is very intelligent, we call him “wise.’ So the name is given according to the quality.

God has no name, but by His qualities we give Him names. Therefore, if God has any name, or if you want to give any name to God, only “Kṛṣṇa” can be given. So, God must be attractive and attractive for all. So unless God is all-attractive, how can He be God? A man is important when he is attractive. A scientist means one who knows things as they are. We approach the scientist because he is supposed to know things correctly. Śrīla Prabhupāda: One who knows things as they are.īob: He thinks he knows things as they are.īob: He hopes he knows things as they are.
