Purport
In the Goloka Vṛndāvana planet, Kṛṣṇa's servants are headed by Raktaka and Patraka. Kṛṣṇa's friends are headed by Śrīdāmā, Subala and others. There are also elderly gopīs and the cowherd men headed by Nanda Mahārāja, mother Yaśodā and others. All of these personalities are eternally engaged in the loving service of the Lord in accordance with their specific attachments for Kṛṣṇa. One who wants to return home to serve the Lord directly is attracted to Kṛṣṇa as a servant, friend, father or mother. By continuously serving Kṛṣṇa during this life in a particular ecstasy, one gives up the material body and attains a suitable spiritual body to serve Kṛṣṇa in terms of a particular attachment. One may serve as a servant, friend, father or mother. In the same way, if one wants to serve Kṛṣṇa in conjugal love, he can also attain a body under the guidance of the gopīs. The most vivid example in this connection is those saintly personalities known as srutis, who presented the Upaniṣads. These śrutis understand that without serving Kṛṣṇa and following in the footsteps of the gopīs, there is no possibility of entering the kingdom of God. Therefore they engage in spontaneous loving service unto Kṛṣṇa and follow in the footsteps of the gopīs.
