Nectar of Devotion, chapter 43

There is another description of Mother Yaśodā in a devotee's prayer: "Let me be given protection by Mother Yaśodā, whose curly hairs are bound with thread, whose hair is very brightly beautified by the vermilion placed in the part, and whose bodily frame derides all her ornaments. Her eyes are always engaged in seeing the face of Kṛṣṇa, and thus they are always filled with tears. Her complexion which resembles the bluish lotus flower, is enhanced in beauty by her dressing herself with many colourful garments. Let her merciful glance fall on all of us so that we may be protected from the clutches of māyā and smoothly progress in our devotional service."

The cowherd boys, they don't see Krishna as god. They see Krishna as Krishna and they just love him because he is Krishna. It describes in Srimad-Bhagavatam that Krishna sees peacocks, they are singing, they are dancing and one of the boys imitates a peacock, just to make Krishna happy and he starts dancing and moving and making sounds like a peacock. And then all the cowherd boys tells Krishna, they tell him “Krishna, you become peacock, you dance like peacock.” So just for their pleasure, he starts dancing like a peacock. And everybody is gathered around him clapping and clapping and even the peacocks come and they come around him and they start dancing for him and he is dancing for them and they give him their feathers as a gesture of love, they give Krishna peacock feather. And Krishna is so overwhelmed “oh! The peacocks like me so much, they gave me a peacock feather.” He puts it in his hair and puts it on top of his head as his crown. For him, the love of a peacock in the form of an offering of a feather is limitlessly more valuable than gold or diamond or emerald or ruby or any other type of precious crown. Demigods wear beautiful crowns, Vishnu wears beautiful crowns, Krishna just wears a feather of a bird because it's offered with pure love. The simplicity of the love of Vrindavana,

Ep. #033 | Syamarani/Jadurani Devi Dasi

When a devotee gives in charity, he doesn’t think that ‘I am giving something which is mine.’ He thinks that ‘this is the property of God and is meant for the benefit of others, and I am simply the servant delivering it for the benefit of others. I don’t get credit, the master who has created it, the Lord who has sent it to this person, he gets the credit, I am only did the deliverer, I am only the servant.’ This is knowledge. But even such charitable understanding of life is so rare in this age of kaliyuga. In this age everything wants to take more and more and more and more. For me, for my family, for my society. This is the mentality of Shishupal, who want to take the property of Krishna and enjoy. And the jiva soul which is part and parcel of Krishna, is also meant simply meant for Krishna’s service. As Rukmini is simply meant for Krishna’s service. And the exploitative forces of this world being directed by material energy or maya are trying to take our consciousness which is meant for Krishna, trying to take it and exploit it, rape it, use it for its own exploitative purposes. And the whole human society is simply victimized by the exploitation of materialistic forces.
