Fear and love - the two most powerful emotions in creation. Fear is the inbuilt warning system to avoid all pain, and love is the sweet call which invites the heart to melt. Of the two, love reigns supreme. When we have love, all fear disappears, and Vrindavana, the abode of love, is the living proof. Ancient stories tell of Krishna’s parents, who, driven by love, followed Krishna’s daring call to abandon cultural and generational traditions of ritual worship to the heavenly God, and instead embrace a higher-level spirituality. Their love for Him outweighed the fear (and eventual reality) of supernatural backlash. Krishna’s friends fearlessly frolicked with destructive demons, powerful and brutal, knowing His loving eye was right behind them. When Krishna’s girlfriends heard His flute call, they impulsively ran to meet Him in the dead of night, with no inhibitions of violating custom, jeopardising physical safety, facing social repercussion or damaging future security. The fears which define and drive most people’s lives disappeared in their oceanic love.
