Question 1: One point of confusion for me of late has been trying to understand the pastimes of Lord Rsabhadeva in the Fifth Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam. Could you kindly explain to me what is the proper way to understand the pastimes of Lord Rsabhadeva?
Answer by Romapada Swami: This question is very broad. Can you be more specific in what you would like to know about Lord Rsabhadeva?
Question 2: What does Lord Krishna have to do with His lila (pastimes) with this samsar (material world), where almost everyone is envious of Krishna? Does the Lord have anything to enjoy in this material world or He simply comes to teach us out of His kindness?
Answer by Romapada Swami: The Lord is atmarama, fully self-satisfied, and always enjoying His own internal potency in the spiritual world. He has nothing to enjoy in this material world, but He comes out of His great compassion to not only teach us, but by displaying His wonderful spiritual pastimes, to attract the forgetful souls to the spiritual world and to His association.
