Indebtedness to the cow – Story
One day when a man came to kill a cow in a slaughterhouse, Gomata smiled at him.
He saw it and asked:
“I have come to kill you, even knowing that why are you laughing?” He asked.
Then Gomata said: “I never ate steak. But my death is going to be very gruesome.”
The cow continued:
“I laughed at the thought of how gruesome your death would be for having killed me, who had done no wrong and posed no danger to anyone, and having eaten my flesh.
I raised you with milk. I will give milk to your child.
But all I eat is grass. You took butter from milk. You made ghee from butter.
You dried my dung and used it for cooking.
Similarly, you prepared manure from my dung and used it for agriculture.
You live a happy life with that money. But you gave me only rotten vegetables and withered grass.
You have brought your house from darkness to light by preparing Cober Gas with my dung.
But you have come to kill me like a butcher… It was only because of the energy from my milk that you could lift the weapon to kill me.
You got the strength to lift that weapon because of me.
You have earned a lot through me and built a house. But you put me alone in a hut.
I was your companion more than your birth mother.
I am a devotee of Lord Krishna.
What will be your destiny to punish me so much?”
It said: “I smiled thinking about your future.”
