Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesSuccess Through a Mind Offered to Kṛṣṇa
“Śrī Uddhava said: Certainly you gopīs are all-successful and are universally worshiped because you have dedicated your minds in this way to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vāsudeva.”
What the purport teaches
- Uddhava calls the gopīs all-successful because they have dedicated their minds to Vāsudeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- Their dedication makes them universally worshiped.
- Other devotees have also surrendered their minds to the Lord, but the gopīs are unique in the intensity of their love.
