Bell and Krishna

This is one of the mischievous acts of Krishna and his all implicit greatness.

Krishna was famous for his mischievous act of stealing butter from GOPIYAN. So as a precautionary measure Gopiyan started to tie bell with the pot of butter. So that whenever krishna and his buddy attacks those pot these bell will ring and they can catch Krishna them butter handed (just for fun didn't use red handed).
But since Krishna was lord and he controls the whole world (as we all hindu believe). He used to give order to bells.
Krishna: Hey Ghantika (bell)! Until we all are done eating donot starting making sounds.

After that everybody Krishna's friend, other of his animals etc, except him. Once everybody was satisfied, Krishna himself took one portion of butter. Then Gopi's caught him butter handed. They took him to Radha (mother of Krishna). And he was punished which itself is a fun story.
But lets move to this story.
After he finished his task/punishment. He came back to Ghantika. Asked her

Krishna: Kyon re Ghatika (Why bell?), why did u started ringing when I started eating. what grudge do you have against me. What have I done to you. You didn't ring when all my friends were eating. But just when I started eating you started ringing????

Ghantika: Hey Lord! I couldn't do anything. I have to follow my task without failing, which is guided by the scriptures. And scriptures says that when ever Lord gets the first portion, Bell should ring.

Learning: There are few rules which are made for us to follow. which should be followed without failing. Even if the lord who wrote it orders it to change for a while.
I think whatever is changed in such a small time and for small time is not worth. Gradual changes are more beneficial and effective and reasonable. Me and my friend were trying to analyse changes in human. We figured it out quick changes have put the person in some very bad situations.
