PLATE THREE
“O unconquerable Lord, although You cannot be conquered by anyone, You are certainly conquered by devotees who have control of the mind and senses. They can keep You under their control because You are causelessly merciful to devotees who desire no material profit from You. Indeed, You give Yourself to them, and because of this You also have full control over Your devotees.”
The Lord and the devotees both conquer. The Lord is conquered by the devotees, and the devotees are conquered by the Lord. Because of being conquered by one another, they both derive transcendental bliss from their relationship. The highest perfection of this mutual conquering is exhibited by Krṣṇa and the  gopīs . Whenever Krṣṇa played His flute, He conquered the minds of the  gopīs , and without seeing the  gopīs , Krṣṇa could not be happy. ( pp. 117-118 )
