I think you must have missed my original text. Here is an excerpt:

 

(As given below) Srila Rupa Goswami describes that in terms of tattva there

is no difference between Sri Isa, Lord Narayan and Krishna. However in terms

of rasa, Krishna is superior and in our prayers we do often make a

distinction between the two. We are not interested in vishnu-bhakti nor do

we pray to tulasi: kripa kori koro tare vaikuntha dhama basi, "O tulasi devi

please give me residence in Vaikuntha."
