In plain words
For I am nara, you are vānara. You have a tail; I have no tail. What is the tail? Desires. Only when you reduce them will My touch come to you. You must fix complete concentration on Me. I will give you My touch in the Dvāpara Yuga,’ He said. In the Dvāpara Yuga these same monkeys, as the Gopīs, kept Kṛṣṇa in their thoughts. God has many laws. It does not come the moment you wish for it.
Our conduct takes shape as our good and bad
In the Tretā Yuga the rākṣasas were in one place, the gods in another. In Ayodhyā and in Kiṣkindhā there were gods. In the Daṇḍaka forest there were rākṣasas. They were each in a land of their own. Rāma Himself made ready to kill the rākṣasas. He stood apart. He fought them and destroyed those rākṣasas. In the Dvāpara Yuga, all were in one house. The maternal uncle, Kaṃsa, was a rākṣasa. Śiśupāla and Dantavaktra, the sons of His father's sister, were rākṣasas. And the Kauravas too were His aunt's sons. All these were rākṣasas. The Pāṇḍavas were gods. All of them were in one house. Because they were in one house, He gave the army to the rākṣasas. To the gods He said He would lay down His weapons and stay only as an onlooker. He stayed only as charioteer. He Himself did not fight. What happened when this Kali Yuga came? Those and these are in one body. Bad qualities one minute. Good qualities the next. The right path one minute. The wrong path the next. No one can say when he will be good and when bad, when he will be a god and when a monkey. So what did God do in the Kali Yuga? He gave that responsibility to man himself. You must punish yourself. You must save yourself. I am in you as the Ātma, as the Sākṣī. So man must recognise his faults himself and strive himself to remove them. For both are in one body. This responsibility was handed over to him. Good and bad both come to us through our own actions.
