"Kṛṣṇa and gopī, the relationship was so intimate and so unalloyed that Kṛṣṇa Himself admitted, 'My dear gopīs, it is not in My power to repay you about your loving affairs'. Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He became bankrupt, that 'My dear gopīs, it is not possible for Me to repay your debts which you have created by loving Me'. So that is the highest perfection of love. Ramyā kācid upāsanā vraja-vadhū (Caitanya-maṣjusā). I'm just describing the mission of Lord Caitanya. He's giving us instruction, His mission, that the only lovable object is Kṛṣṇa and His land Vṛndāvana. And the process of loving Him is the vivid example, the gopīs. Nobody can reach. There are different stages of devotees, and gopīs are supposed to be on the highest platform. And amongst the gopīs, the supreme is Rādhārāṇī. Therefore nobody can surpass the love of Rādhārāṇī."
