Spiritual work in civic virtue is like a load placed before us, challenging us
to shoulder it. Some loads are light, some heavy. Some people prefer the
light to the heavy; they pick the light and shove the heavy on to others. That

Richard,
I believe the Srimad Bhagavatam mentioned that Krishna made love to the gopis
at the same time. And, each one believed she was the only one who was with
Krishna.
IMO, this was the meaning of the rasa dance that Krishna and gopis performed
during the Full Moon.
