Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 15

Sanskrit:

अन्याश्च तदनुध्याननिवृत्ताशेषवृत्तय: ।नाभ्यजानन्निमं लोकमात्मलोकं गता इव ॥ १५ ॥

ITRANS:

anyāś ca tad-anudhyānanivṛttāśeṣa-vṛttayaḥnābhyajānann imaṁ lokamātma-lokaṁ gatā iva

Translation:

Other gopīs entirely stopped their sensory activities and became fixed in meditation on Kṛṣṇa. They lost all awareness of the external world, just like those who attain the platform of self-realization.

Purport:

The gopīs were in fact already on the platform of self-realization. The Caitanya-caritāmṛta (Madhya 20.108) states, jīvera svarūpa haya kṛṣṇera nitya-dāsa: “The self, or individual soul, is an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa.” Thus because they were rendering the most intense loving service to the Lord, the gopīs were situated at the highest stage of self-realization.
