However, the blissfulness that is relished by Krishna’s devotees is not His rather it belongs to Srimati Radhika in the Madhurya department and Mother Yashodha in the Vatsalya department. Only when Gopal is in Ananda Mode only then everyone is in that mode. Suppose Gopal gets cranky then you are not going to show your blissfulness and if you did by mistake Gopal ends up noticing you with that smile on your face then no one can save you. Gopal will make it His life’s goal to make you miserable because you were laughing when He was crying. Even in this world if you laugh at a cranky child he/she will throw whatever things come in the hand at the person laughing. Here we are talking about Gopal imagine what He will do to you if He catches you laughing at Him when Mther Yashodha is chastising Gopal. Many gopis found out the hard way.
However, we cannot see Bhagavan or Avataras becoming cranky nor they exhibit any unadulterated (meaning blissfulness without jnana, aishwarya or vairagya) blissfulness. Still watching Gopal get cranky is a Krishna katha that is spoken by and relished by everyone in Vrindavan in their own private settings without the presence of Gopal. In front of Gopal you have to speak only what He likes to hear anything else is dangerous for one’s health. Gopal getting chastised by Mother Yashodha and His crying, etc. is all blissful Krishna katha and devotees derive ananda from this type of pastimes. For a devotee of Vrindavan Chandra every activity of Gopal is source of blissfulness and only who is infected by Mother Yashodha Krishna Prema or Srimati Radharani Krishna Prema can relish it completely.
Whenever Sri Krishna enjoys the blissfulness of Srimati Radhika, Her reservoir of blissfulness increases and overflows because She is the reservoir of transcendental blissfulness and in this reservoir Krishna dives and plays. Just like the ocean swells up during full moon, same way Vrindavan Chandra Krishna's presence swells up the reservoir of blissfulness of Srimati Radharani. The Waves of blissfulness that is generated by the presence of Krishna in the Reservoir of Blissfulness of Srimati Radharani hits the Gopis, Manjaris and other authorized devotees who get soaked by those waves experience this transcendental bliss i.e. ananda. One cannot appreciate or relish it unless one is servant of Srimati Radharani or Mother Yashodha.
Just like the sun evaporates the sea water and turns them into clouds and then turns them into rain same way Sri Krishna becomes bundle of blissfulness due to His association with Srimati Radharani in Madhurya Rasa and with Mother Yashodha in Vatsalya Rasa.. It is like Moon deriving the light energy from the Sun and gives moonshine which makes everyone joyful same way Sri Krishna gets this Ananda from Srimati Radhika and Mother Yashodha and makes all the jivas happy. If Krishna is not happy how He can make others happy. Here we are talking about Vrindavan Chandra Krishna, Whose Consort is Srimati Radharani and Mother Yashodha is His Mother. Vrindavan Chandra is that Ananda in Whose association the jivas get blissfulness and as we discussed He gets that Ananda from Srimati Radharani and Mother Yashodha. Krishna as Bhagavan gives only Jnana and Vairagya and Aishwarya not ananda that is only can be experienced when you become devotee of Vrindavan Chandra as a Child and onwards.
So Mother Yashodha has a full-time seva to keep Gopal constantly in bliss otherwise watch out. In this activity dasya rasa bhaktas, sakhya rasa bhaktas and vatsalya rasa bhaktas all pitch in one by one to keep Gopal happy until He goes to sleep. Till then someone is always with Gopal to keep His senses occupied otherwise Gopal suddenly will feel anxiety if He does not see Mother Yashodha or any person authorized by Mother Yashodha and end up crying. Gopal’s crying is also very sweet. Why the Supremely Complete Lord feels this anxiety? It is due to lack of something and that is Love of His devotees, Mother Yashodha’s Love for Gopal gives Him comfort and security. Gopal chose to give that Love for Him to Mother Yashodha to be used by Her to serve Him and nurture Him. Gopal cannot love Himself that is why He always wants His Mother Yashodha for everything. Just like a child cries in great anxiety when the Mother disappears for a second in the kitchen same way Gopal feels the same anxiety that is why there are always someone with Gopal authorized by Mother Yashodha. You get my point?-
