Teachings of Lord Chaitanya
in full. Therefore, Brahman realization is not complete understanding of the Supreme Lord, not recognition of eternity, bliss, and knowledge. When we speak of the Supersoul, that is also not a full realization of the Supreme Personality of God; we understand the Supreme Lord by His All-Pervading Nature as a partial representation of His opulence. In our transcendental relationship also, one who is a devotee of Narayan in Vaikuntha, cannot realize the nature of the relationship with Krishna in Goloka Vrindaban. Nor do devotees of Krishna relish the devotional service to Narayan, because devotional service to Krishna is so attractive that such devotees do not desire to worship other forms.
Again, the Gopis of Vrindaban do not like to see Krishna as the Husband of Rukmini, neither do they address Him as Rukminiraman. In Vrindaban, Krishna is addressed as Radha-Krishna, or Krishna the Property of Radharani. In the ordinary sense, although the Husband of Rukmini and Radha's Krishna are on the same level, still in the Spiritual World the Names are different understandings of different aspects of this Transcendental Personality. If somebody equalized Rukminiraman and Radharaman and Narayan and any other Name of the Supreme Lord as all on the same level, there is the fault of overlapping tastes, which is technically called  Rasabhasa . Those who are expert devotees do not accept such amalgamation of different conceptions and aspects of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is against the conclusion of pure devotional service. But when the conceptions are scrutinizingly discriminated, many less intelligent men understand such discrimination as bigotry.
Although Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is Superexcellence and beauty, still, when He is amongst the damsels of Vraja, He is known as Gopijanaballabh; then He becomes the highest perfectional stage for devotees. The devotees cannot relish the beauty of the Supreme Lord more than this. In the  Srimad Bhagwatam  it is confirmed, in the Tenth Canto, 33rd Chapter, that although Krishna the Son of Devaki is Superexcellence and the last word of beauty, still, when He is amongst the Gopis, it appears that He is a sublime Jewel set amongst divine golden craftsmanship.
Lord Chaitanya accepted this statement of the highest realization of the Supreme Lord as conjugal lover. Still, He requested Ramananda Roy to advance further.
At this request, Ramananda Roy remarked that this was the first time that he was requested to go still further than the Gopis in the matter of understanding Krishna. It has been described that there is certainly a transcendental intimacy between the damsels of Vraja and Krishna, but out of all the Gopis
