Rūpa Gosvāmī's Meeting with the Lord
107
unable to understand the pastimes of Kṛṣṇa with the  gopīs  of Vraja. Moreover, the quality of  tamo-guṇa  further disturbs their understanding. In Vṛndāvana, however, although Kṛṣṇa is covered by the hazy darkness of the dust, the  gopīs  can nevertheless understand that within the dust storm is Kṛṣṇa. Because they are His topmost devotees, they can perceive His hand in everything. Thus even in the dark or in a hazy storm of dust, devotees can understand what Kṛṣṇa is doing. The purport of this verse is that Kṛṣṇa is never lost, under any circumstances, to the vision of exalted devotees like the  gopīs .
