Gopis’ devotion is the highest

Gopis, the topmost devotees, their only business is to please Krsna. That’s all. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu recommended, ramya kacid upasana
vraja-vadhu-vargena ya kalpita [Caitanya-manjusa]. There cannot be better method of worship than the process which the gopis adopted. They did not care for anything. The gopis, some of them were engaged in household affairs, somebody was talking with husband, some of them taking care of the children, some, some of them were boiling milk. As soon as there was Krsna’s flute, everything left undone. “Where you are going?” Husband, brother, father: “Where you are going?” “No, don’t care. Krsna’s flute is there; we do not know anything.” This is devotion, the highest, topmost.
