Story 16 Gladstone
PRABHUPĀDA: Kṛṣṇa, Govinda, ādi-puruṣa, the original person:
He is taking various forms.
Rāmādi-murtiṣu especially.
Three Rāma: Paraśurāma, Balarāma, and Daśarathi Rāma.
So this Rāma means enjoyment.
So Kṛṣṇa’s enjoyment…
It does not mean, Kṛṣṇa has appeared as the boar.
It does not mean He is suffering.
Everything is ānanda-cinmaya- rasa-pratibhāvitābhis [Bs. 5.37].
Sometimes a big man becomes a horse.
It is…
There is a very nice interesting story that the big Prime Minister Gladstone…
English… English Prime Minister Gladstone?
- Yes. - Yes.
So, somebody came to see him for an interview.
So the servant informed the visitor that,
“The Prime Minister is now busy; you have to wait.”
So, he was waiting.
He was big man.
So, one hour passed.
So, he became inquisitive: So with a little opening of the door,
he wanted to see the how this man is engaged: “I am waiting for one hour.”
So he saw that the Prime Minister has become a horse,
taking his grandchild on the back, and he’s playing like a horse.
And the important visitor is waiting for one hour.
So this is enjoyment.
The Prime Minister is not the horse,
but he is enjoying taking his grandchild on the back,
and he was playing like a horse,
and the grandchild was, “Hut; Hut; Hut; Hut!”
This was his engagement.
So similarly, because he has become the horse of his grandchild…
He is not horse.
He is enjoying.
That is enjoyment.
