What happens when children see a joker in a circus? They are pretty excited watching him perform different fun activities. But the real life of a joker was different. Most human beings in present manifest world were attracted towards embellishments of present ephemeral world rather than reality within. Lord Krishna and his childhood pranks were only symbolic, having nothing to do with absolute reality.
But none in this world wants to understand this reality of life. Indulgence in contemplation was difficult, and so was path to God Almighty. From beginning of life Lord Krishna was a serious aspirant of truth. He manifests himself on mother earth to re-establish dharma (righteousness) against evil forces of adharma (lawlessness). In a limited 70 to 80 years of earthly span, where was the time for Leela!
Raas Leela of Lord Krishna relates to Hindu mythology and had nothing to do with the real world. Lord Krishna gave his sermon of Bhagavad Gita to Pandava prince Arjuna (relating to path of spirituality) so that he realized his folly and prepared self to fight the enemy in battle of Mahabharata. Still, most devotees of Lord Krishna in India and outside indulged in rituals (path of religion) than path of pure spirituality.
Raas Leela of Lord Krishna is symbolic of faith that was necessitated to understand sermon of Bhagavad Gita. Unless one had 100% faith in God, one could never travel path of pure spirituality sincerely and diligently. The moment Arjuna developed 100% faith in teachings of Lord Krishna; he agreed to fight the enemy head-on. In absence of 100% faith none could reach stage of enlightenment in present life.
