The world feels vast here.

We are sitting on the shore. The air is alive with the rhythmic roar of the waves and the salty taste of the sea. A white bird dances just above the water, dipping and rising with effortless grace.

​

Beloved: She watches the bird for a while and smiles.

“It feels so open here. No walls, no doors. Just… presence.”

Me:

“When we simply relax and forget ourselves—our ego—the Truth reveals itself effortlessly.”

She turns to me with a playful glint in her eyes.

Beloved:

“Then tell me the truth. Does God know that you and I are a married couple?”

I laugh and lean back on my hands as small crabs rush out of their holes near our feet.

Me:

“Definitely not.”

Beloved:

“Not?”

Me:

"God is non-physical and beyond all personal identities. ‘Marriage’ is a human label between two people who mostly know themselves as bodies and separate selves. From God’s point of view, there are no such boundaries—not even a fixed ‘me’ and ‘you’—because everything is held in one indivisible reality. Where there is only one, relationship as we define it cannot exist, because relationship always needs two.”

She looks at me more seriously now.

Beloved:

“So… what if we were unmarried? Or engaged to others? Do you think God would still flow through us like this—relaxed, with no guilt and no fear?”

I turn toward the horizon, choosing my words carefully. The breeze carries a sweet floral scent from the trees behind us.

Me:

“That is a dangerous question, my love.”

Beloved:

“Why? You just said God knows no boundaries.”

Me:

“Yes, God doesn’t. But people do. And people are very clever at deceiving themselves. If I answer that question fully, it will be misused. People love to use high philosophy to justify low desires. They let their ego run wild, break promises, hurt others, and then claim, ‘I am allowing God to flow!’ They would use such words to support their chaos.”

Beloved:

“So, the truth is reserved?”

Me:

“Let’s say the truth is self-evident. A person who truly lives consciously already knows the answer; nothing needs to be said. But for the masses, this kind of answer is like feeding meat to a baby—it will only choke them. Great souls like Osho tried to speak this way, and society crucified them for it. It taught me something: some questions are better held in silence.”

​

She nods slowly.

Beloved:

“You mentioned great souls… Krishna faced something similar, didn’t he?”

Before I can reply, a huge wave crashes onto the shore and rushes toward us. We both gasp and jump to our feet, laughing as the cold water chases us. We run back, shaking the water from our clothes and adjusting our dress.

We find a drier spot and sit again.

Beloved:

“Okay… the ocean clearly wanted to say something. You were talking about Krishna.”

Me:

“I don’t think the ocean wants to interrupt us. If anything, it’s joining in. Krishna is someone who allowed divinity to flow through him to its peak—what is possible through a human body. Even saying his name stirs energy in me, and perhaps in the ocean too. Those sudden waves feel like proof. It reminds me of his Rasa Leela—the dance of love.”

​

Beloved:

“That story always confuses people. How can one person dance with so many Gopikas at the same time? It sounds like a fantasy.”

Me:

“It is a fantasy if you look at it only with the mind. Many people simply say, ‘He is God, he is a magician, he can do anything.’ But that creates distance between us and Him. It doesn’t help us grow. I don’t like that.”

Beloved:

“Why not?”

Me:

“Because there is nothing that God can do through Krishna that God cannot do through us. The difference is only in how much we allow God to flow. When we see ourselves as ‘small’ and see Krishna as ‘big,’ we throw away our own potential. In truth, the human body is the finest instrument for God to express Himself. The problem is not the instrument, but our perception.”

Beloved:

“So how do we correct that perception?”

Me:

“We must become empty. When the mind is empty, God flows through us fully—just as He flowed through Krishna, Jesus, or Mohammed, but in a way that fits the current time and situation. God never repeats Himself. Expecting God to act exactly as He did in the past is foolishness. God is always fresh and only fits the Now.”

​

Beloved:

“That makes sense. But come back to the Rasa Leela.”

Me:

“Look deeper. The story is not about one physical body multiplying like a trick. It is about the ego disappearing. When the Gopikas danced with their beloved, they were in such ecstasy that they forgot themselves. Their ego dissolved into Pure Consciousness. Krishna is a symbol of that Pure Consciousness.”

​

Beloved:

“So everyone became One?”

Me:

“Exactly. On the surface, the Gopikas were dancing with their beloved. In reality, God was flowing through all of them. In that state, everyone is God. You can say Krishna is between two Gopikas, or you can say God is dancing with God, or you can drop all descriptions and just see one vast ocean of God.”

​

Her eyes soften.

Beloved:

“That creates a beautiful image. So the diversity—the millions of women—is just on the surface?”

Me:

“Yes. There is only God. Nothing else truly exists. Think of a dream: all the characters in your dream are actually you. They only look different because of the different masks—the egos—they wear.”

A new thought comes as I look at the line of colorful flowers near us.

Me:

“Think of Krishna’s paintings. He is always shown in bright, colorful clothes. Those colors represent the diversity of the world—the millions of forms, the many Gopikas. The body underneath the dress represents the One Being flowing through all.”

​

She tilts her head.

Beloved:

“Is that what the original author really meant?”

Me:

“Who knows? No one can say for sure. But I trust the flow. Right now, I am letting God flow through me—through an empty mind, through the present moment—mixed with my thirst for truth in the background, your presence, this ocean, that white bird, this wet sand, the rhythm of the waves, everything around us. All of that shapes this answer.”

​

Beloved:

“So the whole scene is part of your answer?”

Me:

“Yes. My state, your eyes, the sky, the water—everything affects what comes through me. Whatever insight appears now is the perfect truth for this moment. It is the output of this unique combination.”

To give you more clarity, it is just like how your behavior changes with your mood. Everything around us affects our mood, and that mood colors how divinity flows through us. It is like light passing through a yellow glass—the light itself is pure, but it appears yellow. In the same way, God’s expression changes with our current state of being. If we carry heavy emotions like jealousy or anger, the flow can twist into violence. If we carry love but mixed with attachment to our identity, the expression becomes narrow and focused only on one person or group. If we carry the same love without identity, it falls freely on everyone around us. And if the mind is blank—free of conscious thoughts, though still surrounded by nature, the person in front of us, and the present scene—then God flows with minimal distortion. When divinity flows through us with the least distortion, we naturally feel content and complete. In other cases, some inner pain will be felt, because we are twisting that flow. By paying attention to what we feel inside, we can sense whether we are allowing the divine to move smoothly through us or not.

Beloved:

“If I ask you the same question tomorrow, would your answer change?”

Me:

“It might. If a parrot answers, it repeats the same words every time—that is ego. When God flows, the answer is alive. It changes to fit the moment.”

She smiles, half teasing, half serious.

Beloved:

“But if it changes, isn’t it random?”

Me:

“It is never random. It is precise. My answer right now is shaped by this exact energy—my willingness, your presence, the nature around us. This mix will never happen again.”

I pause and repeat a line that has been echoing in me.

Me:

“God never repeats Himself. Expecting God to act exactly as He did in the past is foolishness. He is fresh, and He only fits the Now.”

She looks thoughtful.

Beloved:

“If that is true, then what about the holy books? The Bible, the Quran, the Gita… people treat them as God’s final command.”

Me:

“That is where the danger begins. Treating any book as a rigid, final command is risky. In fact, it may be the biggest mistake we make.”

Beloved:

“But aren’t they the word of God?”

Me:

“They are records of how God flowed through certain people in the past.”

​

Beloved:

“So if they were written today, they would be different?”

Me:

“Absolutely. If Krishna wrote the Gita today, or Mohammed delivered the Quran today, or the apostles wrote the Bible now, the result would be different. Not because God changed, but because the human mind, its maturity and confusion, has changed. The teaching would have to match today’s level of wisdom and foolishness. The medicine must change when the disease or intensity of disease changes.”

​

Beloved:

“So we can’t treat static content, like printed holy books, as enough for everyone? I guess this is also why, in ancient times, most teachings were shared orally and not frozen in printed form.”

Me:

“Exactly. What we all seek is the same, but what each of us needs now is different. Our perceptions, our maturity, our situations—they are all unique.

(Note: Books came later for our convenience and as a way to preserve wisdom. But that very precaution now seems to trouble humanity, because what was meant to stay alive and flexible has become rigid and fixed on paper. So it is better to learn it live—first from a living master . Even with a living master, real transformation happens in one-to-one communication, not in mass discourses. A discourse can inspire, but only a direct, personal interaction can address our specific confusions, wounds, and readiness. Spiritual growth cannot be “productionized” like objects on a manufacturing line, all made to the same size and shape. Each person needs a unique response. After all this, it is must to sit in silence and letting the divinity within “wet” our knowledge or what we learnt from others, so we receive the right interpretation for our own life. You may avoid master but definitely not divinity within.)

Beloved:

“Like a customized path?”

Me:

“Exactly. Think of a doctor. Ten patients may have the same fever, but he doesn’t give all of them the same dosage. The treatment changes with the body. One medicine cannot fit all. One book cannot fit all. When we sit in silence, God gives each of us the right insight for our own life.”

​

Beloved:

“So we should not study the books…”

Me:

“We should respect them and study them as references. Then we must sit quietly, keep the mind empty, and allow God to flow through us. Only the God within can give the right interpretation of that knowledge for our individual life.”

​

She smiles, scoops up a handful of sand, and lets it fall slowly through her fingers.

Beloved:

“And what about this conversation? What about this article we are sharing today?”

Me:

“It is also just a reference. We are not giving rules. We are not claiming that our view of the Rasa Leela is the ‘correct’ one or better than others.”

​

Beloved:

“Then what is the purpose?”

Me:

“The only thing that matters is the stir. Did it stir something inside the reader’s mind or heart? Did it help them catch a sudden flash of insight from within themselves? If it did, then these words have done their work.”
