Srila Prabhupada writes in Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead:
“The gopés were all simple souls, and whatever Krishna said they took to be true. In order to be freed from the wrath of Varunadev, as well as to fulfill the desired end of their vows and ultimately to please their worshipable Lord, Krishna, they immediately abided by his order.
Thus they became the greatest lovers of Krishna and his most obedient servitors. Nothing can compare to the Krishna consciousness of the gopés. Actually, the gopés did not care for Varuna or any other demigod. They only wanted to satisfy Krishna.” "It is not so easy to stand naked before the Lord. One must surrender everything — one’s possessions, one’s attachments, one’s fear, and one’s plans. One must strip oneself of all subtle conceptions of being the enjoyer, and of all plans for security, totally giving up all false pride and trying to protect oneself. Only after stripping oneself completely from all these can one truly stand before the Lord in utter surrender. Thus the gopés have established the highest standard of surrender for all devotees"
