Radha too lends Krishna a helping hand in adjusting his flute to his lips.
On a metaphysical level, Radha's sexual passion was nothing but the intense longing of the soul for union with the Absolute. Krishna did not play the flute to seduce the gopis; this was only the melody of the divine calling on his brethren to come to their salvation. The gopis did not leave their husbands, homes and hearth, maddened by the desire for physical union with the Dark One; they were only demonstrating their resolve to sacrifice all in their search for spiritual truth. Krishna and the gopis, and Krishna and radha, did not make love under the starry autumn nights; theirs was a 'pure' love of the heart, unsullied by physical contact.
