Lord Krsna on the Nobility of Trees

[Guest guest]

Thus the Supreme Personality of Godhead walked on the bank of the Yamuna,

touching the leaves of the trees and their fruits, flowers and twigs, and

praising their glorious welfare activities. Different people may accept certain

welfare activities to be beneficial for human society, according to their own

views, but the welfare activity that can be rendered to people in general, for

eternal benefit, is the spreading of the Krsna consciousness movement. Everyone

should be prepared to propagate this movement. As instructed by Lord Caitanya,

one should be humbler than the grass on the ground and more tolerant than the

tree. The tolerance of the trees is explained by Lord Krsna Himself, and those

who are engaged in the preaching of Krsna consciousness should learn lessons

from the teachings of Lord Krsna and Lord Caitanya through Their direct

disciplic succession.

While passing through the forest of Vrndavana on the bank of the Yamuna, Krsna

sat down at a beautiful spot and allowed the cows to drink the cold and

transparent water of the Yamuna. Being fatigued, the cowherd boys, Krsna and

Balarama also drank. After seeing the young gopis taking bath in the Yamuna,

Krsna passed the rest of the morning with the boys.
