Srimati Radharani is the topmost, greater than Krsna

You cannot understand. You cannot see Krsna. You cannot order Krsna, “Krsna,
please come, dancing with flute. I shall see You.” This is order. Krsna is
not subjected to your order. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu gives us
instruction, aslisya va pada-ratam pinastu mam marma-hatam karotu va
adarsanam [Cc. Antya 20.47]. Adarsanam. Everyone wants to see Krsna, a
devotee, but a pure devotee says that “No, if you don’t like to see me,
that’s all right. You can break my heart. I may always pray to see You. But
You do not come and break my heart, that is also accepted. Still, I shall
worship You.” This is pure devotion. Not that “I have asked Krsna to come
before me dancing. He did not come. So I give up this nonsense. The Krsna
consciousness movement is no value.” Not like that. This is Radharani’s
attitude. So Krsna left Vrndavana. All the gopis, they passed their days
simply crying for Krsna, but never condemned Krsna. Whenever somebody
came… Krsna also was thinking of them because gopis are the greatest
devotees, topmost devotees. There is no comparison with the devotion of the
gopis. Therefore Krsna was always obliged to them. Krsna said to the gopis
that “You have to be satisfied with your own business. I cannot return you
anything for your love.” Krsna, the Supreme, the all-powerful, He was unable
to repay the debts for the gopis. Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, ramya kacid
upasana vraja-vadhu-vargena ya kalpita. There is no more better worship than
what was conceived by the gopis. So gopis are the topmost devotees. And
amongst the gopis, Srimati Radharani is the topmost. Therefore Srimati
Radharani is greater than Krsna.
