Lord Krsna’s Wonderful Activities 101
You can arrange for it.’ Krsna immediately said yes, and He and
Balarama went to the forest where that demon was living with other
demons, who had all taken the shape of asses. When the ass demons
came to kick Krsna and Balarama with their hind legs, Balarama caught
one of them and threw him into the top of a tree, and the demon died.
Then Krsna and Balarama killed the other demons the same way. Thus
Their cowherd friends were very much obliged to Them.

On another occasion, the cowherd boys were surrounded by fire. Not
knowing anyone else but Krsna, they immediately called for Him, and
Krsna was ready: ‘‘Yes.’’ Thus Krsna immediately swallowed the whole
fire. There were many demons that attacked the boys, and every day the
boys would return to their mothers and say, ‘‘Mother, Krsna is so won-
derful,’’ and they would explain what had happened that day. And the
mothers would say, ‘‘Yes, our Krsna is wonderful.’ They did not know
that Krsna is God, the Supreme Person. They only knew that Krsna is
wonderful, that’s all. And the more they perceived Krsna’s wonderful ac-
tivities, the more their love increased. ‘‘Perhaps He may be a demigod,”’
they thought. When Nanda Maharaja, Krsna’s father, talked among his
friends, the friends would talk about Krsna and say, ‘“‘Oh, Nanda
Maharaja, your child Krsna is wonderful.”’ And Nanda Maharaja would
respond, ‘‘Yes, I see that. Maybe He is some demigod.”’ And even that
was not certain—‘‘maybe.”’

Thus the inhabitants of Vrndavana do not care who is God and who is
not. They love Krsna, that’s all. Those who think of first analyzing Krsna
to determine whether He is God are not first-class devotees. The first-
class devotees are those who have spontaneous love for Krsna. How can
we analyze Krsna? He is unlimited, and therefore it is impossible. We
have limited perception, and our senses have limited potency, so how
can we study Krsna? It is not possible at all. Krsna reveals Himself to a
certain extent, and that much is sufficient.

We should not be like the Mayavadi philosophers, who try to find God
by speculative deduction. ‘Neti neti,” they say. ‘‘God is not this, and God
is not that.’’ But what God is they do not know. Materialistic scientists
also try to find the ultimate cause, but their process is the same: ‘‘Not
this, not that.’’ As much as they advance, they will always find ‘‘Not this,
not that.”’ But what the ultimate cause is, they will never find. That is not
possible.

What to speak of finding Krsna, materialistic scientists cannot properly
understand even material objects. They are trying to go to the moon, but
actually they do not know what it is. If they understand what the moon is,
