Some Understanding from Mahabharat

Some facts from Mahabharat:
1. Shree Krishna married 16008 girls:
True understanding: There are 16008 different thought families as identified. Shree Krishna married and controlled all these thought families.
2. Shree Krishna stole the clothes of gopis bathing in yamuna river:
True understanding: The clothes are symbol of materialistic links to the earthly affairs. When a devotee goes into the temple or a sacred place to offer his/her prayers, he temporarily only leaves behind his ego / materialistic links, and the moment he comes back, he immediately adores those links again. Shree Krishna wanted that we should come to him naked (devour of all this materialistic links) and then only can we get him.
3. Shree Krishna stole makhan:
True understanding: Same as above. He stole our materialistic links so that we could reach him more easily.
How very thought provoking. Never ever thought from this angel. We just considered the above to be his leela only.
