Text 6] Mother Yasoda Binds Lord Krsna 149
oven was boiling over, she immediately left her son to take care of
the overflowing milk, although the child was not yet fully satisfied
with drinking the milk of His mother’s breast.
PURPORT
Everything in the household affairs of mother Yasoda was meant for
Krsna. Although Krsna was drinking the breast milk of mother Yasoda,
when she saw that the milk pan in the kitchen was overflowing, she had
to take care of it immediately, and thus she left her son, who then be-
came very angry, not having been fully satisfied with drinking the milk
of her breast. Sometimes one must take care of more than one item of
important business for the same purpose. Therefore mother Yasoda was
not unjust when she left her son to take care of the overflowing milk. On
the platform of love and affection, it is the duty of the devotee to do one
thing first and other things later. The proper intuition by which to do
this is given by Krsna.
tesim satata-yuktanam
bhajatam priti-pirvakam
dadami buddhi-yogam tam
yena mdm upayanti te
(Bg. 10.10)
In Krsna consciousness, everything is dynamic. Krsna guides the devotee
in what to do first and what to do next on the platform of absolute truth.
