You wore a monk's robes and lived a good life outwardly but your inner space was filled with lust. So in the outer world, your body is now being buried with honor but you have to suffer hell. The woman's heart was forever with Krishna even while her body was Mahabharata - The Hindu itihasa or epic whose central characters are the five Pandava princes, their hundred Kaurava cousins and enlightened master Krishna. Yama - Hindu god of death and justice. sold to men. So her body doesn't have anybody to even do the last rites but she is going to heaven. It is the intention and attitude that counts. An enlightened being, an incarnation, is one with Existence. An enlightened being can only operate in tune with Existence.

He can never be out of tune. The actions of an enlightened master can never be without awareness and compassion. Since we do not have the consciousness or awareness, we cannot justify our actions by saying they are similar to those of an enlightened being. Be very clear, the action may look similar outwardly but the intention, the inner space, the attitude, is completely different. A beautiful story from the life of Adi Shankara*: Once while Shankara was wandering with his disciples, he suddenly felt thirsty. They were in the middle of nowhere. They traveled further and finally came across one shop. Shankara went up to the man in the shop and asked for some water to drink. The man said, I am sorry but I have nothing to offer you except liquor.

That is all I have. Shankara replied, Alright, please give me some. He drank a glass of liquor and thanked the man. The disciples were shocked to see their master drink liquor! The thirsty disciples decided to follow the master and they all drank liquor to their heart's content.
