Text 32] The Supreme Lord Is Equal to Everyone
43
PURPORT
Different persons achieve different types of  mukti — sāyujya ,  sālokya ,  sārūpya ,  sāmīpya  and  sārṣṭi —according to their own intense desire, which is called  bhāva . Thus it is described here that the  gopīs , by their lusty desires, which were based upon their intense love for Kṛṣṇa, became the most beloved devotees of the Lord. Although the  gopīs  at Vṛndāvana expressed their lusty desires in relationship with a paramour ( parakīya-rasa ), they actually had no lusty desires. This is significant of spiritual advancement. Their desires appeared lusty, but actually they were not the lusty desires of the material world.  Caitanya-caritāmṛta  compares the desires of the spiritual and material world to gold and iron. Both gold and iron are metal, but there is a vast difference in their value. The lusty desires of the  gopīs  for Kṛṣṇa are compared to gold, and material lusty desires are compared to iron.
Kaṁsa and other enemies of Kṛṣṇa merged into the existence of Brahman, but why should Kṛṣṇa's friends and devotees have the same position? Kṛṣṇa's devotees attain the association of the Lord as His constant companions, either in Vṛndāvana or in the Vaikuṇṭha planets. Similarly, although Nārada Muni wanders in the three worlds, he has exalted devotion for Nārāyaṇa ( aiśvaryamān ). The Vṛṣṇis and Yadus and the father and mother of Kṛṣṇa in Vṛndāvana all have familial relationships with Kṛṣṇa; Kṛṣṇa's foster father and mother in Vṛndāvana, however, are more exalted than Vasudeva and Devakī.
