Why Krsna’s gopis’ lila?

Bhaktya mam abhijanati yavan yas casmi tattvatah [Bg. 18.55]. If you want to
know in truth, tattvatah… Krsna wants that one should understand Him
tattvatah. Not that superficially to take Krsna, that “He was very fond of
the gopis, and let us hear the lila of Krsna.” Why Krsna’s gopis’ lila? Why
not Krsna’s lila killing the demons? That, the people are not interested, to
hear about Krsna’s killing the demons. Because the gopis’ lila, it appears
to be the transaction between young woman and man, it very quickly appeals.
But Krsna’s other business is there. Paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca
duskrtam [Bg. 4.8]. That is also Krsna’s lila.
