This sportive mood of pleasure is Krsna's nature. He has created all this to enjoy with us, with Himself, as He is all that is. We are Him seperated, so there is enough distance between us to dance. The soul at core is always with Godhead, sometimes we dance closer, sometimes further, adn sometimes we are distracted and miss a step and may even fall, as that is what we do as jivas. This falldown is also our sacrifice, otherwise, in the dance of love, there must be freedom, not orchestration to the point of no individuality at all.
So even the material existence but expands the varieties of pastimes like an extra 20, 000,000 channels on your 3-d TV .
The gopis are not jivas, they are like Vishnu category. Expansions of Radha. This pastime is rasa generating, not a question of devotees being corrected or not, like jivas could. We the jivas may take up the service in association with the Beings, if we are very very fortunate. Between us and such Radha-lie Beings Devotees, are a class of nityad siddhas who never fall down. They come to save us sometimes, like Gour Govinda or Srila Prabhupada, etc. Jesus etc. They may be manjaris, ie servants of the Gopis or Gopas. Our spiritual master Srila Prabhupada is such a being, nittya siddha, perhaps even he is a gopa or etc , i admit i do not know in full. Anyone accepting his diksa is become part of that Being's eternal pastimes so long as we remain in service, voluntarily. For us for now, that means serving his instruction , ie to spread his Hare Krsna sankirtana movment and its influences worldwide.
