In the Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta, we learn that the relationships in Goloka are an astonishing mix of sweetness, opulence and worldly characteristics.
Although that reciprocal affection seems to follow the ways of the ordinary world, it is beyond the world.It combines intimate sweetness, amazing opulence, and worldly simplicity. BB, 2.5.84
From Sanātana Gosvāmī’s commentary:
Goloka’s Lord and its residents care for one another as do people of the material world, yet their prema transcends the limits of mundane love. The loving dealings of Vraja are like nothing ever seen in this world. … Kṛṣṇa’s friends are constantly desirous of seeing Him, so much so that they cannot tolerate even the momentary obstruction caused by Kṛṣṇa’s passing behind a tree. And the blessed cowherd girls have no interest in life other than Him; whether separated from Him, or going out to meet Him, or enjoying His company, they relish all sorts of extraordinary ecstasy.
In these ways the prema of Vraja is both amazing and sweet, combining within itself the majestic opulence of the spiritual world and the simple sweetness of the material world. The devotees of Vraja possess super-worldly opulence, and at the same time they are the most simple people.
By their opulent power they are expertly able to understand and take part in all the various aspects of the Lord’s countless pastimes. And like ordinary people, the vraja-vāsīs, it is well known from the accounts of their lives, enjoy food and drink, the company of friends and relatives, and so on.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself didn´t write any books about bhakti-philosophy. He gave this monumental task to his most intimate followers, the Goswamis of Vrindavana, especially to Srila Sanatana Goswami, Srila Rupa Goswami and Srila Raghunatha das Goswami.
Srila Sanatana Goswami was instructed to write books about “sambandha-tattva”, about the knowledge of our relationship with Sri Sri Radha Krishna.
Srila Rupa Goswami received the mission to elaborate in his books on “abhidheya-tattva”, on the means and path of bhakti, so that all devotees can follow this path of love easily.
Srila Raghunatha das Goswami was instructed to write about the highest goal on the path of bhakti, “prayojana-tattva”, culminating in the service to Srimati Radharani, “radha-dasyam”. Shri Raghunatha Dasa Goswami wrote three books; Stavavalli (contains Manah Shiksha, Vilapa-kusumanjali and more), Mukta-charita, Dana Keli Chintamani. In Jaiva Dharma, Shrila Thakura Bhaktivinoda said, "Raghunatha Dasa Goswami showed the esoteric method of engaging oneself in the loving service of Shri-Shri Radha-Krishna." Raghunatha Dasa wrote and taught that the divine service of Shrimati Radharani in Vrindavana is the topmost spiritual perfection. For this he was known as the prayojana acharya, the teacher who reveals the highest fulfillment in life.
