PLATE SIX

“The pastimes of Sri Radha and Krsna are self-
effulgent. They are happiness personified, unlimited
and all-powerful. Even so, the spiritual humors of such
pastimes are never complete without the gopis, the
Lord’s personal friends. The Supreme Personality of
Godhead is never complete without His spiritual
potencies; therefore unless one takes shelter of the
gopis, one cannot enter into the company of Radha
and Krsna. Who can be interested in Their spiritual
pastimes without taking Their shelter? There is an inex-
plicable fact about the natural inclinations of the gopis.
The gopis never want to enjoy themselves with Krsna
personally. The happiness of the gopis increases ten
million times when they serve to engage Sri Sri Radha
and Krsna in Their transcendental pastimes.”
