This Madhuma\u1e45gala one day addressed K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a in this fashion: \u201cMy dear friend, I can see that You are not aware of the peacock feathers that are falling on the ground, and at the same time You are unmindful of the flower garlands that are offered to You. I think I can guess the reason for Your absentmindedness when I see Your two eyes flying over to the eyes of \u015ar\u012bmat\u012b R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b, just like black drones flying to lotus flowers.\u201d This is an instance of an argumentative suggestion in ecstatic love.<\/p>\n<p>Once while K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a was out walking, one of the associates of R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b told Her, \u201cMy dear friend, do You think that this walking personality is a tam\u0101la tree?* If He is a tam\u0101la tree, then how is it possible for Him to walk and be so beautiful? Then, this personality might be a cloud. But if He\u2019s a cloud, then where is the beautiful moon within? Under the circumstances, I think it may be granted that this person is the same enchanting Personality of Godhead by whose flute vibration the three worlds are captivated. He must be the same Mukunda who is standing before Govardhana Hill.\u201d This is another instance of an argumentative presentation of ecstatic love.<\/p>\n<p>* The tam\u0101la tree is always described as being the same color as K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ARGUMENTATIVENESS Madhuma\u1e45gala was an intimate friend of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a coming from the br\u0101hma\u1e47a community.
