One time Lord Krishna offended Radha, and They quarreled. Afterwards, Krishna disguised Himself as a gopi, fell down at the feet of one of Radha's gopi-friends, pacified Her, and by her arrangement was able to enter Radha's house.
When Radha was alone on Her bed, disguised Krishna approached Her bedside and began to massage Her body. The touch of His hand reminded Her of Krishna. Still thinking Krishna to be a gopi, She said to Him: Ah! You must be very unhappy. Krishna must have forsaken You as He has Me." She looked into Krishna's eyes. After that She slowly and very happily fell into His arms.

Radha became genuinely afraid of the possible intrusion of Her elders, and for this reason the bud of Her feigned anger began to blossom. Her dear and intelligent gopi-friend cast a meaningful glance at Krishna to apprize Him of the situation. He understood. He took His leave and went to the cottage of vines by the Yamuna's shore, only to meet Radha again in that more secluded place.

This is a good path. Don't think there are obstacles here. I have seen this path with my own eyes. It leads to the Yamuna's waters where there are splendid blue lotus flowers. On the shore is a tamala tree, and in the grove nearby the male cuckoo of the Supreme Personality of Godhead enjoys pastimes.
