giving up everything;  kare —do;  kṛṣṇera —of Lord Kṛṣṇa;  bhajana —worship;  kṛṣṇa-sukha-hetu —for the purpose of Lord Kṛṣṇa's happiness;  kare —do;  prema —out of love;  sevana —service.
TRANSLATION
Social customs, scriptural injunctions, bodily demands, fruitive action, shyness, patience, bodily pleasures, self-gratification and the path of varṇāśrama dharma, which is difficult to give up—the gopīs have forsaken all these, as well as their own relatives and their punishment and scolding, for the sake of serving Lord Kṛṣṇa. They render loving service to Him for the sake of His enjoyment.

ihāke kahiye kṛṣṇe dṛḍha anurāga svaccha dhauta-vastre yaiche nāhi kona dāga
SYNONYMS

TRANSLATION
That is called firm attachment to Lord Kṛṣṇa. It is spotlessly pure, like a clean cloth that has no stain.
PURPORT
The author of  Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta  advises everyone to give up all engagements of sense gratification and, like the  gopīs , dovetail oneself entirely with the will of the Supreme Lord. That is the ultimate instruction of Kṛṣṇa in  Bhagavad-gītā . We should be prepared to do anything and everything to please the Lord, even at the risk of violating the Vedic principles or ethical laws. That is the standard of love of Godhead. Such activities in pure love of Godhead are as spotless as white linen that has been completely washed.  Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Thākura  warns us in this connection that we should not mistakenly think that the idea of giving up everything implies the renunciation of duties necessary in relation to the body and mind. Even such duties are not sense gratification if they are undertaken in a spirit of service to Kṛṣṇa.

অতএব কাম-শ্রেমে বহুত অন্তর ।
কাম—অজ্ঞতমঃ, শ্রেম—নির্মল ভাস্কর ॥ ১৭১ ॥
