Prime Duty

Lord Krishna played on His flute on a moon-lit night. The Gopis rushed forth immediately forgetting everything when they heard the flute.

1. Some left their houses while milching the cow.
2. Some left their houses when they were serving their husbands with food.
3. Some did not take down the boiled rice from the fire.
4. Some did not wait till the milk got boiled.
5. Some had been giving milk to their children.
6. Some were taking food.
7. Some were serving the guests with food.

But they all left their work half-finished. Their clothes, hair and ornaments were all disheveled. They ran to behold Sri Krishna. Krishna was their very Prana and soul. They could not bear His separation even for a second.
