MORE ON THE LILA OF THE GOPIS
The Gopis are not ordinary people in the proper sense of the word
—they are extraordinary by their extremeness of love, passionate
devotion, unreserved self-giving. Whoever has that, however
humble his position in other respects, learning, external sanctity
etc. etc., can easily follow after Krishna and reach him; that seems
to me the sense of the symbol of the Gopis. There are many other
significances, of course—that is only one among the many.
(CWSA, 29: 493)
