To save humanity, the Lord appeared in a most charming form so that He could draw everyone’s heart in love. So Lord Krishna easily steals into the hearts of even the most hard-hearted individuals. He is the 'bada chitta chor' (the greatest Thief of hearts). Pure hearts yearn for His voice, His Form, His flute, His smile, His sport and His pranks. That is the penance (tapas) which is rewarded by His grace. Krishna incarnated to establish Dharma (righteousness). So what he likes the most is Dharma. Walk in the path of Dharma; that is the offering He will gladly accept. The Lord is closest to you, He is the mother, father, teacher, friend, guide and guardian. Call on Him, and He responds immediately. From dawn to dusk, spend every minute in His company. The Flute is His favourite. So become a flute, hollow (devoid of desires), straight (with no crookedness), and He will redeem you!
