Aho, the Vraja gopis are so fortunate. In the whole world, Vraja-mandala is so glorious, so glorious. Why? Because the Supreme Personality of Godhead, bringing all His opulence, adorned with all His sweetness, He has descended to Vrndavana. So Vrndavana is so glorious. Especially the gopis are there, so Vrndavana is glorious. If the gopis are not there, then Vrndavana is not so glorious. If the gopis are not in Vrndavana with Krsna, then Krsna will only be like brahman, like zero. So due to the gopis, Krsna is so lovely. All kinds of sweetness is in Krsna, so Vrndavana is so glorious, the gopis are so glorious. “Krsna goes cowherding with lakhs and lakhs of cowherd friends and lakhs and lakhs cows, playing on His flute. Along with Baladeva and so many boys, He is glancing here and there with His crooked eyes. So many gopis are there worshiping Krsna with their sidelong glances. Then Krsna smiles. Those who have seen this Krsna playing like this in Vrndavana, they are lucky. Their eyes are successful. Those who have not seen this Krsna, those who have not taken darsana of this Krsna in this way, how can their eyes be successful? Srila Gurudeva - 23 June 1998
