Then we come to the life of Krishna. From his early childhood he was given into the hands of Yashoda, a milkmaid; he was brought up in the house of a peasant, with his princely soul and kingly spirit. And there again we see how with that unique spirit that was born in Krishna he moved about and played and was friendly with the girls and boys of the peasants living in Brindavan, how they became attracted to him, how they were most devoted to him, how they loved him in his childhood. Krishna became in that peasant life and that frame the light and life of Brindavan. He had not given a message at that time, nor had he spoken of philosophies. On the contrary, there are many stories, sometimes even exaggerated, of his playfulness, which proved him to be more playful than the little boys of Brindavan. But that did not make any difference. The light was there, the life was there, the spirit that was going to shine was proving its origin from that time.
