Subtle difference

This is a story from a great person. Once a devotee went to this great person and asked him to explain the differences between Lord Rama and Lord Krishna. The great man thought for a while and replied as follows – “Lord Rama always smiled before saying anything where as Lord Krishna smiled after saying everything – if Rama’s smile ensured that the person does not really bother to listen savoring his pleasant smile Krishna’s smile ensured that the person forgets what he actually listened before this ecstatic smile. Another difference is Lord Rama always told that he is a common man and was always away from the masses where as Lord Krishna always said that he is God and has always been with masses. Lord Rama ensured that he lead the people by example as a great leader in the final battle with Ravana where as Lord Krishna has managed the entire Kurukshetra war without actually participating in it”. The devotee was amazed by this answer and was happy to understand the subtle differences through this great person.
