You are the companion of the beautiful Shyam and the master of all yoga. Surdas says, how great is the glory of that nectar of love, which even the Lord of the universe inquires about.
In this verse, the Gopis speak to Uddhava with deep affection and gentle wit. They acknowledge that he is a close friend of Krishna and a great master of yoga and philosophy. Yet, they gently remind him that intellectual knowledge can never measure the boundless nectar of pure love. Surdas conveys that the sweet glory of true devotion is so profound that even the Supreme Lord Himself treasures it above all spiritual discipline. For the Gopis, finding the divine is not about detachment or complex meditation, but about an innocent, heartfelt love that completely surrenders to the beloved.
