In plain words
When the wish-fulfilling tree that gives whatever fruit is asked is at hand, why care for a tree in the backyard? When the Kāmadhenu that gives milk for the asking is there, why pay money to buy a cow? When Mount Meru stands there blazing with splendour, why go searching for silver and gold?
When Kṛṣṇa, who is all-powerful, is right with you, right beside you, why are you so afraid of this small danger? Just once, close your eyes and remember Me,” He said. The cowherds would obey Kṛṣṇa's command to the letter. At once they closed their eyes: “Kṛṣṇa! Kṛṣṇa!” they went on, remembering Him. The very next moment Kṛṣṇa: “Cowherd boys! Open your eyes and see where your cows are,” He said. By the time they opened their eyes and looked, the fire had vanished. All the cows had come back. There was no limit to the cowherd boys' joy. Wanting to tell their parents about this wondrous līlā Kṛṣṇa had performed, they set off home in a great hurry.
The Story of Wolf Messing
Not in Bhārata alone: in Russia too, an atheist country, such wondrous things have happened. A man named Wolf Messing was born in Poland on 10 September 1899. From his birth he shone, radiant with a divine brilliance. From his very childhood: waving his hands, seeming to talk with someone, talking to himself, laughing to himself... In such strange and curious ways he went on behaving. His strange behaviour made his parents anxious. “Has this boy gone mad? Who is he talking to? Why is he laughing?” they kept fretting, in every way they could. Some time passed in this way.
