The General Meaning of the "lila" of Krsna
Situated within the cardio-respiratory universe, the "lila" of Krsna may be understood as the (teleological) effort expended by the Lord or the great sequence of operations and interventions executed by him, the supremely intelligent mind, on prakrti (matter, nature, primordial material substance), in the course of its unfolding or evolution, in order to engineer/ forge the mind-organ, the organs of sense and action and the other (material) supporting structures and apparatuses necessary for the jiva or the embodied conscious personality (purusa) to lead life as a learning, doing organism to "regain," retrain and ultimately sublimate his consciousness and free himself from nescience and its devastating consequences.
Needless to say these interventions are innumerable and innumerable are therefore the "lilas" of the Lord.
