The kind of tree that sprouts will be determined by the nature of the seed. The smell which one gets when one has a belch will be determined by the kind of food one eats. When Krishna was sent to the Kaurava court to undertake peace negotiations, the amount of trouble and the hesitation which the Pandava brothers had is not easily understood by others. The Pandava brothers, particularly Nakula and Sahadeva, were worried that their elder brother was sending Krishna into a court filled with evil people. They were greatly worried about a possible harm these people might do to Krishna. Until Krishna returned safely they did not even take a sip of water. Because the Pandavas had such great faith and affection towards Krishna, Krishna in turn was also protecting them at all times. The kind of connection that exists between God and His devotees is always strengthened by the bonds of love.
Jenis pohon yang tumbuh akan ditentukan oleh sifat dari benihnya. Bau yang timbul ketika seseorang bersendawa akan ditentukan oleh jenis makanan yang dimakannya. Ketika Sri Krishna dikirim ke pengadilan Kurawa untuk melakukan perundingan perdamaian, kesulitan dan keragu-raguan Pandawa bersaudara tidak mudah dipahami oleh orang lain. Pandawa bersaudara, terutama Nakula dan Sahadewa, khawatir bahwa saudara tertua mereka mengirim Sri Krishna ke pengadilan yang penuh dengan orang-orang jahat. Mereka sangat khawatir tentang bahaya yang mungkin mereka (Kurawa) lakukan untuk Sri Krishna. Sampai Sri Krishna kembali dengan selamat mereka bahkan tidak meminum seteguk air-pun. Karena Pandawa memiliki keyakinan dan kasih sayang yang besar terhadap Sri Krishna, Sri Krishna pada gilirannya juga melindungi mereka setiap saat. Jenis hubungan yang ada antara Tuhan dan umat-Nya selalu diperkuat dengan ikatan cinta-kasih. (Divine Discourse, Summer Roses on Blue Mountains 1976, Ch 4)
