The ecstasy of divine love increases in separation. One day, when Krsna was playing with His cowherd boyfriends in the pasturing grounds of Vrndavana, Krsna suddenly felt extreme separation from Radharani. He sent His best friend Subala to Radharani, saying, "Go to My Radha and fetch Her. Without Her, I can't live. Suddenly I have so much desire for Her company that I can't stand it anymore. Somehow manage to bring Her." Subala said, "How is it possible to bring Her here in the jungle in broad daylight?" Krsna told him, "Somehow manage it!"
Subala thought, "What should I do?"
Subala was very intimately connected with the family of Radharani's husband. He went to the house of Radharani and told Her girlfriends, "Krsna can't tolerate separation from Radharani any longer. He is so eager to meet Her that He is going mad. Somehow you have to arrange for Them to meet."
"How is it possible?" the gopis asked. Subala explained to them that Krsna was nearby in the jungle. They discussed between themselves what to do. Subala was a beautiful boy who resembled Radharani. So Subala took the dress of Radharani, and Radharani wore Subala's cowherd dress.
When Radharani was discovered wearing the dress of Subala, She was challenged by Her family members: "Subala! What are you doing here?" In the dress of Subala, Radharani said, "A calf is missing and its mother is mooing. So I have come here looking for that calf." So a calf was given to Radharani, and She carried that small calf on her breast into the forest. In this way, Radharani was disguised as Subala, while Subala, who had taken the dress of Radharani, remained behind in Her room.
Radharani had been given a hint of where Krsna was hiding near the forest's edge and She went to seek Him out. At last, when Radharani saw Krsna, She approached Him in the garb of Subala. Krsna was mad. He could not detect that Radharani had come, but mistook Her for Subala. He said, "Oh, Subala, you have come back without Radharani! Couldn't you bring Her?"
Radharani began cutting jokes: "No", She said, "It was impossible for me to bring Her in the daytime." Krsna said, "Then what am I to do? I can't tolerate My life any longer." Radharani said, "If You say so, I can go to Candravali and bring her." "No, no", Krsna said, "Curd cannot satisfy the thirst for milk. It is not possible!" Krsna was faint with disappointment.
Then Radharani embraced Him, saying, "My Lord, can't You recognize Your maidservant? You failed to recognize Me!" Then Krsna was again full of joy.
From the Sri Sri Camatkara Candrika - (A Moonbeam of Sheer Astonishment) by Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura
First Prank - The Meeting in a box:
Sri Krishna stealthily gets into a box of clothes and ornaments which
Mother
Yashoda wants to send to Sri Radhika as a gift. Abhimanyu, Radha's dull-witted
husband, unknowingly carries the box to Her bedroom on Yasoda's request.
Later, after the gopis gather around, the box is opened to the great amusement
of Sri Radha and Her girlfriends.
Second Prank - Meeting in the disguise of Abhimanyu:
Sri Krishna, coming in the disguise of Radha's husband Abhimanyu, succeeds
in deceiving Jatila, Radharani's senile mother-in-law. Thus He obtains
Jatila's permission to sport with Sri Radha in Her own house, after having
the real Abhimanyu chastised and driven away by Jatila and her foolish
daughter Kutila
Third Prank - Meeting in the disguise of a female doctor:
Old Jatila is suspicious that her Daughter-in-law Radharani is somehow
or other meeting secretly with Sri Krishna. Therefore she prohibits Sri
Radha from going outside the house at all. With the help of Her girlfriend
Visakha, Radha pretends to suffer from a deadly snakebite. Thereafter,
Sri Krishna arrives in the disguise of Vidyavali, the daughter of Garga
Rsi who is a doctor specializing in treatment of snakebites. Thus disguised
as a young girl doctor, He manages to spend the night with Sri Radhika
in the prankish art of curing Her.
Fourth Prank - Meeting in the disguise of a female singer:
Sri Krishna, coming in the disguise fo Kalavali, a girl singer, fails
to propitiate the pouting huff of Radharani. Thereafter, He deceives old
Jatila into the belief that He is a girl-cousin of Sri Radha. Thus, upon
Jatila's strict order, the reluctant Sri Radha is obliged to accept His
companionship for the night.

THE INTELLIGENT DONKEY
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed
a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He
was astonished at what he saw.
With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something
amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
Live simply and appreciate what you have.
Give more.
Expect less

Enough of that crap . . . The donkey later came back, and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him.
The gash from the bite got infected and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.

Scientists have shown that the moon is moving away at a tiny, although
measurable distance from the earth every year.
If you do the math, you can calculate that 85 million years ago the moon was orbiting the earth at a distance of about 35 feet from the earth's surface.
This would explain the death of the dinosaurs...the tallest ones, anyway.......

RIGHTEOUSNESS, n. A sturdy virtue that was once found among the Pantidoodles
inhabiting the lower part of the peninsula of Oque. Some feeble attempts
were made by returned missionaries to introduce it into several European
countries, but it appears to have been imperfectly expounded. An example
of this faulty exposition is found in the only extant sermon of the pious
Bishop Rowley, a characteristic passage from which is here given:
"Now righteousness consisteth not merely in a holy state of mind, nor
yet in performance of religious rites and obedience to the letter of the
law. It is not enough that one be pious and just: one must see to it that
others also are in the same state; and to this end compulsion is a proper
means. Forasmuch as my injustice may work ill to another, so by his injustice
may evil be wrought upon still another, the which it is as manifestly my
duty to estop as to forestall mine own tort. Wherefore if I would be righteous
I am bound to restrain my neighbor, by force if needful, in all those injurious
enterprises from which, through a better disposition and by the help of
Heaven, I do myself restrain."

A Supply Clerk at a factory, discovered a box that was left on the loading dock with this warning printed on it:
DANGER DO NOT TOUCH!
Management was called and all employees were told to stay clear of the box until it could be analyzed.
When the foreman arrived, he donned gloves and safety glasses, and then,
very carefully opened the box. Inside were 250 signs that read:
DANGER! DO NOT TOUCH!

Nelson Mandela is sitting at home watching TV and drinking a beer when
he hears a knock at the door. When he opens it, he is confronted by a little
Chinese man, clutching a clip board and yelling, "You Sign! You sign!"
Behind him is an enormous truck full of car exhausts. Nelson is standing
there in complete amazement, when the Chinese man starts to yell
louder,
"You Sign! You sign!"
Nelson says to him, "Look, you've obviously got the wrong man", and shuts the door in his face.
The next day he hears a knock at the door again. When he opens it the little Chinese man is back with a huge truck of brake pads. He thrusts his clipboard under Nelson's nose, yelling, "You sign! You sign!"
Mr Mandela is getting a bit hacked off by now, so he pushes the little Chinese man back, shouting: "Look, go away! You've got the wrong man. I don't want them!" Then he slams the door in his face again.
The following day, Nelson is resting, and late in the afternoon, he
hears a knock on the door again. On opening the door, there is the same
little Chinese man thrusting a clipboard under his nose, shouting,
"You sign!
You sign!" Behind him are TWO very large trucks full of car parts.
This time Nelson loses his temper completely, he picks up the little man by his shirt front and yells at him: "Look, I don't want these! Do you understand? You must have the wrong name! Who do you want to give these to?"
The little Chinese man looks very puzzled, consults his clipboard and
says:

ROMANCE, n. Fiction that owes no allegiance to the God of Things as They Are. In the novel the writer's thought is tethered to probability, as a domestic horse to the hitching-post, but in romance it ranges at will over the entire region of the imagination -- free, lawless, immune to bit and rein. Your novelist is a poor creature, as Carlyle might say -- a mere reporter. He may invent his characters and plot, but he must not imagine anything taking place that might not occur, albeit his entire narrative is candidly a lie. Why he imposes this hard condition on himself, and "drags at each remove a lengthening chain" of his own forging he can explain in ten thick volumes without illuminating by so much as a candle's ray the black profound of his own ignorance of the matter. There are great novels, for great writers have "laid waste their powers" to write them, but it remains true that far and away the most fascinating fiction that we have is "The Thousand and One Nights."
