MOOD OF THE MASTER

'Such a devotee of mine is very dear to Me, yo mad-bhaktaḥ sa me priyaḥ.' Kṛṣṇa says that if somebody lives in this manner, that devotee is close to Him. He doesn't say 'Do or don't do.' He does not want to make more rules. He is tired of making rules. He has reached a point where his attitude is, 'If you can, do it, otherwise, what can be done?' He is in a relaxed mood.

I think this happens to all masters. After some time they say, 'Alright, do whatever you want, what can be done?' They can guide or show you only to a certain extent. Beyond that if masters persist, people start thinking that the masters have some vested interest in making people enlightened.
