PILATE  SIX
“The pastimes of Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are self-effulgent. They are happiness personified, unlimited and all-powerful. Even so, the spiritual humors of such pastimes are never complete without the  gopīs , the Lord’s personal friends. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is never complete without His spiritual potencies; therefore unless one takes shelter of the  gopīs , one cannot enter into the company of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. Who can be interested in Their spiritual pastimes without taking Their shelter? There is an inexplicable fact about the natural inclinations of the  gopīs . The  gopīs  never want to enjoy themselves with Kṛṣṇa personally. The happiness of the  gopīs  increases ten million times when they serve to engage Śrī Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa in Their transcendental pastimes.”
