come to this earth and imitate material life just to expand the varieties of

ecstatic enjoyment for Your surrendered devotees.

PURPORT

Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura points out that just as a lamp does not

seem to shine as brightly in sunlight as it does in the shade, or as a

diamond does not seem as brilliant on a silver platter as it does on a plate

of blue glass, the Lord's pastimes as Govinda do not seem as amazing in the

transcendental abode of Vaikuntha as they do within the material realm of

Maya. Lord Krsna comes to the earth and acts toward His pure devotees

exactly like a devoted son, boyfriend, husband, father, friend and so on,

and within the darkness of material existence these brilliant, liberated

pastimes give unlimited ecstasy to the surrendered devotees of the Lord.

In his Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Srila Prabhupada quotes

Lord Brahma as follows: "I can also understand that Your appearance as a

small cowherd boy, a child of the cowherd men, is not at all a material

activity. You are so much obliged by their affection that You are here to

enthuse them with more loving service by Your transcendental presence. "
