Just read a cool story “One sunny day, Srila Prabhupada decided to have his massage in his "favorite place," the New Dwarka garden. After I placed the mat on the grass with sandalwood and mustard oil alongside it, Srila Prabhupada sat down cross-legged. While massaging Srila Prabhupada's back, a kitten crawled under the garden gate. Perhaps the kitten wanted to associate with a pure devotee. This little, fuzzy thing started to lick Srila Prabhupada's back and affectionately rubbed his fur against His Divine Grace. Much to my surprise Srila Prabhupada allowed this to go on for a few minutes. "That's all, take him out," Srila Prabhupada finally said. Quickly, I grabbed the cat and put him over the fence. Being very small and extremely determined to get more association with Srila Prabhupada, the kitten immediately crawled under the gate, again . . . and again . . . and again. Three times he came in and three times I dropped him over the fence.

Finally, I found cinder blocks and placed them along the bottom of the gate so the kitten could no longer sneak in to get another taste of His Divine Grace. Being thwarted, he loudly cried outside the gate for the duration of Srila Prabhupada's massage. Howling, he lamented his misfortune. I learned something from that kitten. I should be that eager for the association of the pure devotee. A moment's association with a pure devotee can change the life of even a small animal.”
