The influence of the divine is such that while you are contemplating it, all trace of envy and greed will disappear from the mind. The boy Krishna had entered a gopî's house and was just standing beneath the milk pot hung above when she discovered Him;

Krishna ran out into the street and the gopî pursued Him, and wanted to catch Him. She wanted to catch Him fast, for she was so pained that the boy was running in the hot sun. She never worried about the loss of curds or milk or butter, but, the thought of Krishna's tender feet walking over the hard stones in the sun was something she could not bear.
