When He appeared in Vrindavana, He even drew to Him the birds, the animals, the trees and the plants. All were attracted by love and affection for Krishna.
God, the Supreme Person, embodies the Absolute Truth, but He manifests Himself through the unfolding of various energies. Those who adhere to the regulatory principles of devotional service ultimately reach the Vaikountha planets of the spiritual world. But who comes to adhere to the principles of love in the practice of such a service joins the supreme stay, Krishnaloka or Goloka. Krishna is God, the Supreme Person, the source of all Avatars and the cause of all causes. Innumerable are the Vaikounthas spiritual planets, the Avatars, the emanations of the Supreme Lord and the material galaxies. Krishna, the Sovereign Lord, is the only source. His absolute body is eternal, all of happiness and knowledge. Goloka Vrindavana is his home. He has fully the six excellences, wealth, power, renown, beauty, knowledge and renunciation. He is the Supreme Being, the Lord of all lords. Source of all that is, He has no other origin than Himself.

No one, however, can appreciate Vrindavana without being deeply accomplished in spiritual knowledge, in Krishna consciousness. Our senses make us see Vrindavana as a place among many others, but in the eyes of the highly realized devotee it is no different from the original Vrindavana.
Different varieties of Krishna's personal devotees populate the kingdom of Transcendence. Anyone who wishes to enter Krishna's supreme abode can take refuge from one of his spiritual servants, then practice the service of love in order to reach the highest peaks of affection for the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In other words, the devotee or devotee who, in the material universe, practices the service of love according to the activities of the eternal companions of Krishna will reach the same position as them when he or she becomes perfect.
