Lectures and Commentaries on Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 3, made in Vrindavan (India)
The purpose of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam is to glorify the Supreme Absolute Truth, known as Śrī Kṛṣṇa, for the benefit of the suffering humanity. Śrī Vyāsa himself calls this Purāṇa the ripened fruit of the Vedic tree and compares it to the personification of rasa, or devotional relish. It is to be tasted by the rasikas, the connoisseurs of rasa, and relished by the sahṛdayas, the sober-hearted people or those whose hearts are imbued with sattva (SB 1.1.3)
Gopis are not proud, otherwise they will fight with each other, and become possessive and jealous, thinking I am closer to Krishna than someone else. Krishna teaches how to co-operate and not make politics to bring others down.
