Līlā means play. The Brahma Sūtras answer the question why a God who lacks nothing should create by saying that creation is mere play, as a king might play though he wants for nothing. Devotional traditions delight in Kṛṣṇa’s play among the cowherds as the highest revelation of divine love.
Līlā
Divine play: the world as the spontaneous, purposeless sport of God.
