In plain words
When you yourself become Prema, you can love the whole world. We must remember that the divinity in all beings is one. Once, when Kṛṣṇa was a small boy, He came running into the house. He caught hold of His mother's sari. ‘Mother! Today I am going to the forest with the cowherd boys, behind the cows,’ He said. Then Yaśodā said: ‘My child! You think the forest is an ordinary place; it is full of thorns, stones, rocks, insects, scorpions, snakes, every kind of poisonous creature. Today I will have sandals stitched for you, and tomorrow I will send you with the cows,’ she said. It was not a time like today, when sandals can be had in shops wherever you go. It was a time when one sent for a man, showed him one's size and set about having them stitched. The moment Yaśodā said these words, Kṛṣṇa — ‘Mother! Our cows go to the forest without wearing sandals, don't they?’ He said. ‘My child! They are animals. You are a human being,’ said Yaśodā. Then He said: Mother! Do not think of them as animals. They turn their own blood into milk and, denying it even to their own young, give their milk to people. They eat worthless grass and give us milk. Even in death they serve us, their hides stitched into sandals. Do human beings have the love and gratitude they have? If I do not see the cows for a single day, tears flow from their eyes. I have seen it many times. The moment they hear My voice they lift their tails and look towards Me in joy. Not only the big cows. Even the little calves, while they are drinking milk, leave even the milk the moment they hear My voice and look towards Me. Even you do not have the Prema for Me that the cows and calves have, Mother,’ He said. Gopāla was the leader. He was the leader of the cows. We may be class leaders. We may be room leaders. We may be party leaders. We may be leaders of a society. With these thoughts, that a leader must go on showing this kind of ideal, Kṛṣṇa changed Yaśodā's mind that day. Every person must show himself an example. Only when we follow such a path will we have done good to the world. We ourselves, too, will have received Ānanda.
Human life has not come to be wasted. We must recognise that it is very precious. We must recognise that it is not a body for wasting time. Having taken this sacred body, jantūnāṃ narajanma durlabhaṃ, having taken this sacred birth, if we cannot live as human beings, how can we ever recognise this thing called humanness? How are we to develop it? There is the farmer. If he wants to raise a crop in a field, there are many tasks to be done before that.
