The cow said: "Am I then abandoned, lord, that you speak to me so? If I am not abandoned by you, O brahmin, I cannot be led away by force." Vasishtha said: "I do not abandon you, O auspicious one; remain, if you can; see, having bound your calf with a strong rope, they are leading it away by force."

Here is disclosed the secret of a devotee's strength -- it lies in not being forsaken by the master. Telling is the cow's word: "if I am not abandoned by you, I cannot be led away by force" -- so long as the bond with the master lives, the devotee is unconquerable. Here is a deep truth: one not forsaken by the Lord cannot be seized by evil; protection lies in that very non-abandonment. Telling too is Vasishtha's answer: "I do not abandon you; remain, if you can" -- he grants her both permission and the strength to resist. Thus scripture shows that the devotee's might lies in faithfulness and the master's blessing.
