When Brahma stole the calves, God had to become the same to maintain both sides. He became the mother of every calf. In every home where a calf belonged, He became that very calf. He became every cowherd in every household, complete with flutes and horns and trumpets. Brahma and the gods witnessed this spectacle. Such joy had never come to them even in dreams, yet now it overflowed in both directions. The cows gave torrents of milk. He became each one's own mother. This subtlety became known to Brahma: the supreme Brahman had truly incarnated. 'All these people are now saved,' the Creator declared. He began to praise the Infinite One, the four-faced one chanting hymns of devotion. It was for the sake of devotees that God took incarnation, to relieve the burden of the earth. The earth had been oppressed by demons, unable to bear their weight. God spends all He has for the sake of His servants who cry to Him. The Unmanifest became manifest in this world for the welfare of His devotees. By the mere power of Hari's Name, heaps of sins are destroyed. That God has come to the homes of cowherds. The cowherds have all become one with Krishna. The three worlds shall be saved by His Name. Even the sinful shall be saved by Krishna's Name, no matter how great their sins. No sin can survive before the Name of Krishna. Blessed is the one who beholds Krishna's face. 'What is my mouth that I should describe His extent?' said Brahma, and then bowed before the cattle. He recognized that this was God Himself. God was everything: the cows, the cowherds, the calves. To look for anything second there was the mark of a fool; there was no 'other.' Says Tuka, those who hold duality in their chitta will suffer the torments of hell.

When the calves were stolen away, He had to become the same as them. He had to keep the herd on both sides, He the life and the mother-father of the world. He became the mother of all the calves; where a calf belonged to a house, He became that calf. He became just like the cowherd boys of the houses, with all their flutes and reed-pipes. Flutes and pipes, horns and trumpets they sounded; Brahma and the gods saw the festival. Such joy was not given to Brahma and the gods even in dreams; so it overflowed on both sides. The cows poured out boundless milk; as each one's own mother, so He became. Brahma came to know His skill: the supreme Brahman had truly come down. All these people are saved now, so the Creator spoke. He began to praise the Infinite One; the four-faced one chanted hymns of devotion. God took birth for the sake of His devotees, to lift the burden of the earth. The earth was crowded with these demons; their weight upon her could not be borne. He pities His own servants who cry to Him; for them He spends all He has. To do good for His servants, the Unmanifest came into the world manifest. By Hari's Name alone the heaps of sins are gone; He came to the homes of the cowherds. The cowherds all became filled with Krishna; by the Name the three worlds will cross over. Even sinners will cross over by Krishna's Name, those with great sin upon them. No sin can stay before Krishna's Name; blessed is the one who beholds Krishna's face. What is my mouth, that I could measure His extent, said Brahma, and bowed down. Brahma bowed down before the cattle; he had understood that this very thing is God. God had become everything, all of it: the cows, the cowherd boys, the calves were there. To look for any second thing there, the fool has no other within him. Tuka says: those who hold a second feeling in the heart suffer the torments of hell.
