Krṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
Krṣṇa are the perfection of all meditation and  samādhi . It is also confirmed in the  Bhagavad-gītā  that anyone who is always absorbed in the thought of Krṣṇa is the topmost of all  yogīs .
Another  gopī  expressed her opinion that Krṣṇa and Balarāma, while tending the cows, appeared just like actors going to play on a dramatic stage. Krṣṇa was dressed in glowing garments of yellow, Balarāma in blue, and They held new twigs of mango tree, peacock feathers, and bunches of flowers in Their hands. Dressed with garlands of lotus flowers, They were sometimes singing very sweetly among Their friends. One  gopī  told her friend, “How is it Krṣṇa and Balarāma are looking so beautiful?” Another  gopī  said, “My dear friend, we cannot even think of His bamboo flute—what sort of pious activities did it execute so that it is now enjoying the nectar of the lips of Krṣṇa?” Krṣṇa sometimes kisses the  gopīs ; therefore the transcendental nectar of His lips is available only to them, and His lips are considered their property. Therefore the  gopīs  asked: “How is it possible that the flute, which is nothing but a bamboo rod, is always engaged in enjoying the nectar from Krṣṇa’s lips? Because the flute is engaged in the service of the Supreme Lord, the mother and the father of the flute must be happy.”
The lakes and the rivers are considered to be the mothers of the trees because the trees live simply by drinking water. So the waters of the lakes and rivers of Vṛndāvana were full of happy lotus flowers because the waters were thinking, “How is it our son, the bamboo rod, is enjoying the nectar of Krṣṇa’s lips?” The bamboo trees standing by the banks of the rivers and the lakes were also happy to see their descendant so engaged in the service of the Lord, just as persons who are advanced in knowledge take pleasure to see their descendants engage in the service of the Lord. The trees were overwhelmed with joy and were incessantly yielding honey, which flowed from the beehives hanging on the branches.
Sometimes the  gopīs  spoke thus to their friends about Krṣṇa: “Dear friends, our Vṛndāvana is proclaiming the glories of this entire earth because this planet is glorified by the lotus footprints of the son of Devakī. Besides that, when Govinda plays His flute, the peacocks immediately become mad. When all the animals and trees and plants, either on the top of Govardhana Hill or in the valley, see the dancing of the peacock, they all stand still and listen to the transcendental sound of the flute with great attention. We think that this boon is not possible or available on any other planet.” Although the  gopīs  were village cowherd women and girls, they had knowledge of Krṣṇa. Similarly, one can learn the highest truths simply by hearing the  Vedas  from authoritative sources.
