Think of Yashoda telling Krishna that break pots He can't,...

"O Sita, those munis, who have taken to strict vows, living aggrieved in Dandaka-aranya have personally approached Me, who am a protector of the surrendered, and sought refuge." (Lord Rama speaking to Sita Devi, Valmiki Ramayana, Aranya-kanda, 10.4)

From the speculating cheaters stay away, And...

"Did Krishna really descend to earth? How do we know that He's not just an elevated yogi as opposed to the Supreme Lord Himself? Did He really hold up a massive hill with His finger? Did He really kill so many nefarious characters while in the form of a small child? If so, what was the purpose to His advent? When and where does He make His appearances? If God can incarnate in human form, does that mean that we are all incarnations of God? Can we perform the same miracles? Why did Krishna play like an ordinary child in Vrindavana? What is so special about Vrindavana?"

If I do not find the daughter of King Janaka in Lanka, with the same force I shall go to the realm of the demigods." (Hanuman addressing the Vanaras, Valmiki Ramayana, Sundara Kand, 1.39-40)

"Hanuman Crossing the Ocean" is a collection of ten essays discussing the verses in the Ramayana which describe Hanuman's journey to Lanka to look for Sita Devi.

"Who is God? Is He just an abstract concept conceived in the bewildered mind looking for some real meaning to life? Fruitive activity seems to be the obvious solution to redress mental ailments. 'Just go wherever the sense impulses take you and you will be alright. If you feel like eating something now, go for it. Want to indulge in intoxication, why not give it a try?' When the pattern of repeated acceptance and rejection, happiness and dissatisfaction, is recognized, the search continues for a higher truth. Perhaps there is something beyond this temporary realm. Maybe there is a supreme...

In dream one moment you're dwelling upon, And then the next moment it is gone. The universal manifestation in son's mouth to see, Then in an instant Yashoda from vision set free. To loving her beautiful son she returned, In process a deep respect for God was earned. But devotion in maternal affection not to stop, Concern for darling of Vrindavana she couldn't drop. Thus know there is higher state than reverence, Love in bhakti-rasa God's preference.
