Ādi-līlā, Chapter 4
331
TRANSLATION
For this contradiction I see only one solution: the joy of the gopīs lies in the joy of their beloved Kṛṣṇa.
PURPORT
The situation of the  gopīs  is perplexing, for although they did not want personal happiness, it was imposed upon them. The solution to this perplexity is that Śrī Kṛṣṇa's sense of happiness is limited by the happiness of the  gopīs . Devotees at Vṛndāvana therefore try to serve the  gopīs , namely Rādhārāṇī and Her associates. If one gains the favor of the  gopīs , he easily gains the favor of Kṛṣṇa because on the recommendation of the  gopīs  Kṛṣṇa at once accepts the service of a devotee. Lord Caitanya, therefore, wanted to please the  gopīs  instead of Kṛṣṇa. But His contemporaries misunderstood Him, and for this reason Lord Caitanya renounced the order of householder life and became a  sannyāsī .
