Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 10
Sanskrit:
अन्वञ्चमाना जननी बृहच्चल-च्छ्रोणीभराक्रान्तगति: सुमध्यमा ।जवेन विस्रंसितकेशबन्धन-च्युतप्रसूनानुगति: परामृशत् ॥ १० ॥
ITRANS:
anvañcamānā jananī bṛhac-calac-chroṇī-bharākrānta-gatiḥ sumadhyamājavena visraṁsita-keśa-bandhana-cyuta-prasūnānugatiḥ parāmṛśat
Translation:
While following Kṛṣṇa, mother Yaśodā, her thin waist overburdened by her heavy breasts, naturally had to reduce her speed. Because of following Kṛṣṇa very swiftly, her hair became loose, and the flowers in her hair were falling after her. Yet she did not fail to capture her son, Kṛṣṇa.
Purport:
Yogīs cannot capture Kṛṣṇa by severe penances and austerities, but mother Yaśodā, despite all obstacles, was finally able to catch Kṛṣṇa without difficulty. This is the difference between a yogī and a bhakta. Yogīs cannot enter even the effulgence of Kṛṣṇa. Yasya prabhā prabhavato jagad-aṇḍa-koṭi-koṭiṣu (Brahma-saṁhitā 5.40). In that effulgence there are millions of universes, but yogīs and jñānīs cannot enter that effulgence even after many, many years of austerities, whereas bhaktas can capture Kṛṣṇa simply by love and affection. This is the example shown here by mother Yaśodā. Kṛṣṇa therefore confirms that if one wants to capture Him, one must undertake devotional service. Bhaktas enter even the planet of Kṛṣṇa very easily, but the less intelligent yogīs and jñānīs, by their meditation, remain running after Kṛṣṇa. Even if they enter Kṛṣṇa’s effulgence, they fall down.
