So what is that attraction to something or someone really?
It's because everything, both material and spiritual, emanates from Krishna, the source of all existences. The holy name "Krishna" means "All Attractive". Whether it's adventure, romance, beauty, fun...Krishna is the attractive principle behind all things.
"I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who perfectly know this engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts." Bhagavad gita As It Is 10.8
It's His energy, so when you get something from the person you love the most, you naturally take good care of it and use it in His service. So instead of tossing into the sink the cooking utensils used for making His daily offerings, for example, you carefully place them to get washed, and then set them in proper order to dry.
Loving Krishna extends to all living beings. A nice quote from Srila Prabhupada illustrates this nicely:
"If you love your child and your child is away, you think of him when you see his shoes. You think, “Oh, this is my dear child’s shoe.” It is not that you love the shoe, but the child. The shoe, however, evokes that love. Similarly, as soon as we see Kṛṣṇa’s energy manifested in a living entity, we love that entity because we love Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, if we love Kṛṣṇa, universal love is accounted for."Path of Perfection", Chapter 6
