Bhagavad-gītā As It Is 10.2
na me viduḥ sura-gaṇāḥ
prabhavaḿ na maharṣayaḥ
aham ādir hi devānāḿ
maharṣīṇāḿ ca sarvaśaḥ
"Neither the hosts of demigods nor the great sages know My origin or opulences, for, in every respect, I am the source of the demigods and sages."
In the 9th chapter we learnt the most confidential knowledge. And Krishna gives the most important verse in "Always engage in my service and surely you will come to me - Man mana..." Now in this chapter Krisna is giving more knowledge about himself. The mind is so dynamic that every moment we are constantly thinking about something or the other. Why are we forced to think - because they seem to be very attractive. We desire things, we desire people, because we feel very attracted to them. But we need to research about Krishna and hence Krishna's opulence is so absolute as they draw us in his attention and it forces us to think who is think, why is this. Having said that Krishna is now about to explain something which is so extraordinary. I'm the source of all demigods, all devatas are coming from him.
All sages are also coming from him. Brhamaji is also bewildered seeing his opulence as nobody can understand him. Even Krishna can't understand himself. One cannot even fathom and understand Krishna - why? Because his pastitmes, qualities, leelas, are all unlimited. Not only unlimited but also on a different platform altogether. Because it is under the jurisdiction of his internal energy - the ladini energy. Hence we need the mercy of Radha rani to understand Krishna.
The first opulence is Krishna's unlimitedness. No one can catch Krishna. So many demons were trying to catch Krishna but nobody could catch Krishna, No body could catch him at all. So many yogis are trying to catch Krishna but how is he caught - Only by Bhakti baddam. Only by Bhakti he is caught. Ex - Yashodamata trying to catch him. Or Radha rani's bhakti to catch him. But only by Krishna's mercy it is possible.
Pleasing Krishna is so simple, just please the devotees and just adopt that mood just what Krishna wants. Be humble, more humble than the blade of grass. Don't expect anything, just keep giving. The opulences of Krishna is also for us to become humble. That we are just fireflys we are so insignificant. Krishna is so great. This is the beginning of Bhakti. Demigods can't understand, sages can't understand. But Krishna can reveal to you if he wants only if he sees you are sincere. Same way concentrate on Sri Chaitanya prabhu and give your soul to sankirtan yajna. How was he teaching - When he went to Gaya and comes back he says I have wasted my life and now I want to take initiation and to just service the devotee and do menial services to the devotees so he can serve the Vaishnavas. Supreme Personality of Godhead is telling us with his own experience how to please Krishna by serving the vaishnavas.
No body can understand krishna but only the devotee with his dint of devotion to the vaishnavas can please Krishna.
Everybody in Vrindavan is under yoga maya which is the internal energy of Krishna or the ladhini energy which is Radha rani. So you might be in any bhava ex yashoda mata was in vatsalya bhava but her love towards Krishna is only through the mercy of Radharani. So, we should pray to Radharani to get her mercy. And the way to it is by serving the Spiritual master, because only through him can he light the torchlight of darkness. And by serving the devotees and the spiritual master you can get the mercy of Krishna and Srimati Radharani.
