What Matters is the Contact with Krishna

So also, to one who has had contact with the inner Brindavan and

the lila of the Gopis, made the surrender and undergone the spell

of the joy and the beauty or even only turned to the sound of the

flute, the rest hardly matters.

But from another point of view, if one can accept the historical

reality of the incarnation, there is this great spiritual gain that one

has a point d’appui for a more concrete realisation in the conviction

that once at least the Divine has visibly touched the earth, made

the complete manifestation possible, made it possible for the

divine supernature to descend into this evolving but still very

imperfect terrestrial nature.

(CWSA, 28: 484)
