Thus narrating to one another the playful pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead as He wandered about in the Vá¹›ndÄvana forest, the gopÄ«s became fully absorbed in thoughts of Him.

Purport

In this regard ÅšrÄ«la PrabhupÄda comments, “This is the perfect example of Kṛṣṇa consciousness: to somehow or other remain always engrossed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa. The vivid example is always present in the behavior of the gopÄ«s; therefore Lord Caitanya declared that no one can worship the Supreme Lord by any method that is better than the method of the gopÄ«s. The gopÄ«s were not born in very high brÄhmaṇa or ká¹£atriya families; they were born in the families of vaiÅ›yas, and not in big mercantile communities but in the families of cowherd men. They were not very well educated, although they heard all sorts of knowledge from the brÄhmaṇas, the authorities of Vedic knowledge. The gopÄ«s’ only purpose was to remain always absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa.â€

Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupÄda to the Tenth Canto, Twenty-first Chapter, of the ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam, entitled “The GopÄ«s Glorify the Song of Kṛṣṇa’s Flute.â€
