Once there was an
old man and a young boy who were traveling with a donkey. The young man
was leading the donkey and the old man was riding on the donkey. When
they passed through a small village, some of the townspeople yelled
abuse, "Look at this old man taking advantage of this poor young boy!
What a rascal!" After they had passed through the village, the old man
said, "We had better swap over, otherwise they will abuse us in the next
village." So then they swapped with the old man leading and the young
boy riding. But in the next village also they got criticized, "Look at
this selfish boy, taking advantage of his grandfather. He should let
the old man ride on the donkey." So then they both got off and led the
donkey, but in the next village the people yelled out, "Look at these
two stupid people! They have a donkey, but they are choosing to walk
instead!" Then the old man concluded, "Actually, it doesn't matter what
you do, people will always be critical."
Similarly the devotees try to educate us in science of God, Krishna, but we end up only criticizing all their ways.
