Text 84] The Later Pastimes of Lord Caitanya 55

shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But such activities and
motivations are unknown to the gopis; they are not at all expert in executing
such auspicious activities. Already transcendentally enlightened, they simply
engage their purified senses in the service of the Lord in the remote village of
Vindavana. The gopis are not interested in dry speculation, in the arts, in
music, or other conditions of material life. They are bereft of all understanding
of material enjoyment and renunciation. Their only desire is to see Krsna
return and enjoy spiritual, transcendental pastimes with them. The gopis
want Him simply to stay in Vrndavana so that they can render service unto
Him, for His pleasure. There is not even a tinge of personal sense gratification.
