p 113; the boys of five years of age and older were give charge of the cows. This suggests that five years of age was much more mature than nowadays. As people lived 1000 years and were ten feet tallish in the last age, and as mystic power etc is muffled and almost non functional in this age, it would seem that the essential laws of nature and physics nad meta-physics cycle through these ages, with different values for principle characteristics.
p113 the rivers and lakes of Vrndavana can relieve all fatigues. So do the breezes in that land of vegetabes and trees growing. Imagine such a land, when you grow tired of tossing fruits, tag, hide and seek, ball games, imitating birds and monkeys, eating lunch etc and thus enjoying by playing with Krishna and Balarama, one can drink the clear waters and be renewed.
p 114, "the deer, whose behavior is just like that of the gopis, are welcoming you with the same affection"
So this loving rasa is not retricted to human bodied devotees, and as Srila Prabhupada says in NOD, the love of the cowherd boys is almost idenbtical to that of the gopis. So, material lust or sex life are NOT at the ehart oc the soul-attraction to Godhead as the Supreme Intimate Beloved, like a husband and wife etc in closeness and commitment etc.
There is no need of actual , let us be frank, intercourse Kama-sutra, fora being to feel wife-husband, loved-beloved intimacy with God. It is purer than that. Of course, Sri Krsna is satisfied only when He comes in contact with His Supreme Pleasaure Potency, Srimati Radharani and Her direct expansions as the gopis, not the manjaris etc. The gopis are like Vishnu expasions from the original, non-different, but different nonetheless.
