Rasa-lila: not for public discussion

These rascals, they do not know what is Krsna. They think Krsna is ordinary
man. "Why He is engaging Arjuna in the fighting? Why He is dancing with
others' daughter and girls? These are immoral things." Therefore this rasa
dance should not be discussed among the fools and rascals. They'll
misunderstand. Although the professional reciters, they take part, whenever
they speak of Bhagavata, they immediately jump over the rasa dance. That is
not to be done. Caitanya Mahaprabhu never indulged in such thing. For mass
of people He engaged Himself in sankirtana. And when Krsna's dealing with
the gopis were discussed, He was discussing amongst three selected devotees:
Ramananda Raya, Svarupa Damodara and Sikhi Mahati. He had thousands and
thousands of devotees, but He never discussed Krsna's rasa-lila in the mass
of people, never did it. Therefore it is restricted. Because they will
misunderstand. These rascals, they do not know what is Krsna, and they will
misunderstand. They will be polluted. Of course, not polluted. Because after
all, they will hear about Krsna. But they may misunderstand. That is against
their making progress to the spiritual life.
