Milking the cows

"The gopis are so fortunate that they can see and think of Krsna twenty four hours a day, beginning from milking the cows, husking the paddy, churning the butter in the morning or when engaged in gathering dried wood, riding on swings, taking care of crying babies, cleaning their homes, washing their floors, whatever it is that they are doing they are always absorbed in thought of Krsna.

Their hearts are full of love for Him. Tears of affection fill their eyes and will sometimes choke up as they sing His glories."

Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.44.15.
