Cow and Calf

Jayadvaita Swami: At that time the devotees had purchased a cow, but they hadn't purchased the calf, the cow just had, and the cow was crying. In the pasture, the cow ran the length of her body through the electric fence, searching, "Where is my calf?". After that, Prabhupada told them to get the calf also, but it was not possible.  On some later occasions Prabhupada mentioned, "They say that the animal has no soul, but just see how the cow is crying for her calf."
