One day, Suguna went to Yashoda's house and was lighting her lamp from that kept in front of their house. Suddenly, she could visualise Krishna in that flame. She lost her bodily consciousness in that divine experience and put her fingers into the burning flame. Her fingers were getting burnt, but she had no body consciousness at all!
Meanwhile, Yashoda came out, smelling the burning finger. Immediately, she pulled out the hand of Suguna from the lamp and asked, "What is the matter with you girl? Are you asleep? Your fingers are burnt badly. Don't you realise? Don't you feel the pain?"
Suguna then came to her senses and replied, "Mother! Lord Krishna gave me His darshan in that flame. I lost my body consciousness on seeing Him."
The other gopis heard her explanation. They were very happy to know about Saguna's divine experience. They went round the village singing and dancing:
Was this the State of Gopis in Vrindavan, devoid of Physical Pain?
