Krishna is condemned as a thief who stole butter from the cowherd maidens; but the butter represents the Bhakthi of the heart that is got after the process of churning. It is a question of a symbol being taken as literally true. He is Chiththachor (the stealer of hearts). The thief steals at night, in the darkness, without awakening the master; but when this thief steals, the master awakens; He wakes him and tells him that He has come. The victim is left supremely happy and satisfied.

Every Gopi had the highest type of Bhakthi in her heart. They saw only Krishna wherever they turned; they wore on their foreheads blue kumkum in order to remind themselves of Krishna. There were many husbands who protested against the colour of the kumkum, but they dared not wipe it off, lest harm should befall them and the sacrilege recoil on them alone. [Here Baba who had filled his hand with petals of mallika (jasmine) flowers pulled apart by Him from garlands given to Him, showered the petals from one palm to another and they fell in a cascade of blue gems]. Even the gems they preferred were of this type, blue, like Krishna.
