PURPORT

This verse (Bhag. 10.35.9) is one of the songs the gopis sang during Krsna's absence. In Krsna's absence the gopis were always absorbed in thought of Him. Similarly, the bhagavata, the advanced devotee, sees everything as potentially serving the Lord. Srila Rupa Gosvami recommends:

prapancikataya buddhya
hari-sambandhi-vastunah
mumuksubhih parityago
vairagyam phalgu kathyate
(Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, 1.2.126)

The advanced devotee does not see anything that is not connected with Krsna. Unlike the Mayavadi philosophers, a devotee does not see the material world as false. Rather, he sees everything in the material world connected to Krsna. A devotee knows how to utilize such things in the service of the Lord, and this is characteristic of the maha-bhagavata. The gopis saw the plants, creepers and forest trees loaded with fruits and flowers and ready to serve Krsna. In this way they immediately remembered their worshipable Lord Sri Krsna. They did not simply see plants, creepers and trees the way a mundaner sees them.
