TEACHINGS OF QUEEN KUNTĪ
A devotee is always prepared to render service to the Lord ( dāsyam gatānām para-daivatena ), but for those who are under the spell of illusory energy, He is an ordinary boy ( māyāśritānām nara-dārakeṇa ).  Ye yathā mām prapadyante tāṁs tathaiva bhajāmy aham:  Kṛṣṇa deals with different living entities according to their conceptions. For those who regard Kṛṣṇa as an ordinary human being, Kṛṣṇa will deal like an ordinary human being, whereas devotees who accept Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead will enjoy the association of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Of course, the object of the impersonalist is the  brahmajyoti , the impersonal effulgence of the Supreme, but Kṛṣṇa is the source of that effulgence. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is everything ( brahmeti paramātmeti bhagavān iti śabdyate ).
Yet the cowherd boys are able to play with that same Kṛṣṇa, the exalted Personality of Godhead. How have they become so fortunate that they are able to play with Him?
ittham satām brahma-sukhānubhūtyā dāsyam gatānām para-daivatena māyāśritānām nara-dārakeṇa sārdham vijahruḥ kṛta-puṇya-puñjāḥ  ( Bhāg. 10.12.11 )
The cowherd boys playing with Kṛṣṇa are also not ordinary, for they have attained the highest perfection of being able to play with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. How did they achieve this position?  Kṛta-puṇya-puñjāḥ:  by many, many lives of pious activities. For many, many lives these boys underwent austerities and penances to achieve the highest perfection of life, and now they have the opportunity to play with Kṛṣṇa personally on an equal level. They do not know that Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for that is the nature of  vṛndāvana-līlā , Kṛṣṇa's pastimes in the village of Vṛndāvana.
Not knowing Kṛṣṇa's identity, the cowherd boys simply love Kṛṣṇa, and their love is unending. This is true of everyone in Vṛndāvana. For example, Yaśodāmātā and Nanda Mahārāja, Kṛṣṇa's mother and father, love Kṛṣṇa with parental affection. Similarly Kṛṣṇa's friends love Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa's girl friends love Kṛṣṇa, the trees love Kṛṣṇa, the water loves Kṛṣṇa, the flowers, the cows, the calves—everyone loves Kṛṣṇa. That is the nature of Vṛndāvana. So if we simply learn how to love Kṛṣṇa, we can immediately transform this world into Vṛndāvana.
This is the only central point—how to love Kṛṣṇa ( premā pum-ārtho
