Acharya Prashant explains that Shri Krishna's act of being tied up by Mother Yashoda is a profound play of freedom and surrender. He emphasizes that one can only truly surrender or be bound if they are fundamentally free. While physical bodies can be restrained by circumstances or force, the true self remains untouched unless it consents to the binding. Shri Krishna, being eternally free, participates in the act of being tied as a game, demonstrating that for a liberated soul, worldly bonds are not sources of suffering but elements of play. He contrasts this with ordinary individuals who fear being bound because they lack the inner realization of their own freedom. The speaker further clarifies that Shri Krishna is not a supernatural or miraculous being in this context, but a representation of the natural, uncorrupted state of a human being. He suggests that every child is born with this inherent 'Krishna' quality—natural, grounded, and free—but loses it due to societal conditioning. Shri Krishna's actions, such as eating butter or playing in the river, are those of an ordinary child, yet he remains extraordinary because he is fully present and unattached. Acharya Prashant concludes that true surrender happens only in freedom, and one who knows their own liberation can play with the bonds of the world without being affected by them.
