The relationship between the devotee and the Supreme Lord:

Pure devotees know that they are meant to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead and that all things that exist can be means by which one can serve the Supreme. Because a devotee has been blessed by the Supreme from within his heart, he can see the Supreme Lord wherever he looks. Indeed, he can see nothing else. In Srimad- Bhagavatam (11.2.55) the relationship between the devotee and the Supreme Lord is confirmed as follows:

“If a person’s heart is always tied to the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord with the rope of love, the Lord does not leave him. Indeed, even if his remembrance is not perfect, he is to be considered a first class devotee.”

There is an example of this described in Srimad-Bhagavatam, Dasaskandha (10.30.4). When the Gopis assembled to join the rasa dance with Krsna, Krsna left them. Consequently the Gopis began to chant the holy name of Krsna and, being overwhelmed with madness, began to inquire about Krsna from the flowers and the creepers in the forest. Krsna is like the sky; He is situated everywhere.
