In plain words
Heads differ, and so thoughts differ. The Bhāgavatam means the story of God! Kṛṣṇa's very līlās are a sound ground for knowing such a story of God! In the episode of the Gopīs' garments taken away, Kṛṣṇa climbed a tree. However much they called, He would not answer. The Gopīs cannot come out of the pond. At last, raising both hands, they prayed to Kṛṣṇa to give them back their garments. What is the inner meaning? Attachment itself is the garment. Give up the garment called attachment. ‘I, who am the Ātma, will enter into you’: that is its meaning. In this way the Bhāgavatam went on giving many kinds of teaching on the Ātma. All such sacred stories of Kṛṣṇa are full of ideals; they are not laughable or improper. In just the same way He gave Rādhā too many troubles, and at last, as the ocean was churned, He churned her heart and gave her the divine and sacred jewel called Jñāna. She did not rely on anyone, neither her kinsfolk nor her sisters nor her brothers. All her anguish she told to Kṛṣṇa alone:
A life with no shade to stand in, I carry it for Your sake, Kṛṣṇa; my mind will not stay still, boy, when Your smiles are far from me.
Without these smiles of Yours my mind cannot stay still.
Come before my eyes, Kṛṣṇa, if only in a dream! Parted from You I cannot live, boy; come to be seen, come!
At the very end, just before Rādhā left the body, Kṛṣṇa appeared before her. In the end God offers Himself to the devotee. Persons so full of sacrifice, or such kinsfolk, are to be seen nowhere in the world. At last all the strength in Rādhā's body ebbed away. In that state Kṛṣṇa appeared before her. ‘Rādhā! At your last moment, what is it you want?’ He asked. ‘I want nothing, Kṛṣṇa! Let me hear the music of Your flute just once,’ Rādhā begged.
