When the flute is made of jewels it is called sammohini. When made of gold, it is called akarsini.
From: "Subramaniam.b"
yas ca mudhatamo loke
yas ca buddheh param gatah
tav ubhau sukham edhete
klisyaty antarito janah
SYNONYMS
yah--one who is; ca--also; mudha-tamah--the lowest of the fools; loke--in
the world; yah ca--and one who is; buddheh--of intelligence; param--
transcendental; gatah--gone; tau--of them; ubhau--both; sukham--
happiness; edhete--enjoy; klisyati--suffer; antaritah--situated between;
janah--persons.
TRANSLATION
Both the lowest of fools and he who is transcendental to all intelligence
enjoy happiness, whereas persons between them suffer the material pangs.
PURPORT
The lowest of fools do not understand material miseries; they pass their
lives merrily and do not inquire into the miseries of life. Such persons are
almost on the level of the animals, who, although in the eyes of superiors
are always miserable in life, are unaware of material distresses. A hog's
life is degraded in its standard of happiness, which entails living in a
filthy place, engaging in sex enjoyment at every opportune moment, and
laboring hard in a struggle for existence, but this is unknown to the
hog.Similarly, human beings who are unaware of the miseries of material
existence and are happy in sex life and hard labor are the lowest of
fools.Yet because they have no sense of miseries, they supposedly enjoy
socalled happiness. The other class of men, those who are liberated and are
situated in the transcendental position above intelligence, are really happy
and are called paramahamsas. But persons who are neither like hogs and dogs
nor on the level of the paramahamsas feel the material pangs, and for them
inquiry about the Supreme Truth is necessary. The Vedanta-sutra states,
athato brahma jijnasa: "Now one should inquire about Brahman." This inquiry
is necessary for those who are between the paramahamsas and the fools who
have forgotten the question of selfrealization in the midst of life in sense
gratification.

Srimati Radharani is the ideal maha-bhagvat. As the greatest devotee, She is also the most compassionate. She is unable to bear the suffering of the souls trapped in the material world. The word "aradhaya" (prayers) is derived from "Radha" and means "worshippable". Similarly the word "aparadha" (offenses) means "against Radha". When one performs devotional service, one is pleasing Srimati Radharani and when commits Vaishnava aparadha against Krishna or His devotees, one is offending Radharani. Srimati Radharani is the guardian, the mentor and the benefactor of all aspiring devotees. When a soul starts to inquire about Krishna, Srimati Radharani is most pleased and takes charge of his devotional advancements. As one makes progress, one continues to invoke the mercy of Srimati Radharani and when She is pleased, Krishna is automatically pleased.
All glories to Srimati Radharani !!
Apa-Radha!

The Gnat and the Bull (don't over-estimate your own importance)
A gnat settled on a bull's horn. After a while the gnat asked the bull, "Do you mind if I go now?" The bull replied, unconcerned, "It's all the same to me: I didn't notice you when you came, and I won't notice when you've gone."
