The Bondage of Love
Love can be bondage. Indifference seems more free. One of the names of Krishna is "Damodar" which means "bound at the waste" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damodar_%28name_of_Krishna%29 His adoptive mother, Yashoda, gathered all the rope in the village yet it was always an inch too short to bind the child Krishna to a post. But then Krishna surrendered in love and suddenly there was ample rope and he was bound. This event strangely resembles the crucifixion. One of the properties of God is to be invincible at will, or submit to total bondage.
