krsnaSometimes we accept lots of flak from our near and dear ones and we bow down to their silly demands. Krsna too had to do that in His lifetime. Satyabhama treated Him like a slave and made Him do stuff which would otherwise sound blasphemous. Even His son Samba used to misbehave. So did Balaram. The purport here is to give them some teaching we sometimes give way. But if it goes out of hand we should know when to stop it. Just like the lessons He imparted to all the 3 mentioned above. The tulabharna, the meeting with Durvasa and the crushing of Balaram’s ego by Hanumana.
