74 Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead

Sometimes mother Yasoda used to ask Krsna to bring her a wooden
plank for sitting. Although the wooden plank was too heavy to be carried
by a child, still somehow or other Krsna would bring it to His mother.
Sometimes while worshiping Narayana, His father would ask Him to
bring his wooden slippers, and Krsna, with great difficulty, would put the
slippers on His head and bring them to His father. When He was asked to
lift some heavy article and was unable to lift it, He would simply move His
arms. In this way, daily, at every moment, He was the reservoir of all
pleasure to His parents. The Lord was exhibiting such childish activities
before the inhabitants of Vrndavana because He wanted to show the great
philosophers and sages searching after the Absolute Truth how the Supreme
Absolute Truth Personality of Godhead is controlled by and subject to the
desires of His pure devotees.

One day, a fruit vendor came before the house of Nanda Maharaja.
Upon hearing the vendor call, “If anyone wants fruits please come and
take them from me!” child Krsna immediately took some grains in His
palm and went to get fruits in exchange. In those days exchange was by
barter; therefore Krsna might have seen His parents exchange fruits and
other things by bartering grains, and so He imitated. But His palms were
very small, and He was not very careful to hold them tight, so He was
dropping the grains. The vendor who came to sell fruits saw this and was
very much captivated by the beauty of the Lord, so he immediately
accepted whatever few grains were left in His palm and filled His hands
with fruits. In this meantime, the vendor saw that his whole basket of
fruit had become filled with jewels. The Lord is the bestower of all
benediction. If someone gives something to the Lord, he is not the loser;
he is the gainer by a million times.

One day Lord Krsna, the liberator of the twin arjuna trees, was playing
with Balarama and the other children on the bank of the Yamuna, and
because it was already late in the morning, Rohini, the mother of
Balarama, went to call them back home. But Balarama and Krsna were
so engrossed in playing with Their friends that They‘did not wish to come
back; They just engaged Themselves in playing more and more. When
Rohini was unable to take Them back home, she went home and sent
mother Yagoda to call Them again. Mother Yagoda was se affectionate
toward her son that as soon as she came out to call Him back home, her
breast filled up with milk. She loudly cried, ‘““My dear child, please come
back home. Your time for lunch is already past.” She then said, “My
dear Krsna, O my dear lotus-eyed child, please come and suck my breast.
You have played enough. You must be very hungry, my dear little child.
