Indeed, they were full of petty desires and entangled in elaborate rituals. Though presuming themselves advanced in Vedic learning, they were actually inexperienced fools.
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Canto 10 Chapter 39 Text 27 anārdra-dhīr eṣa samāsthito rathaṁ tam anv amī ca tvarayanti durmadāḥ gopā anobhiḥ sthavirair upekṣitaṁ daivaṁ ca no ’dya pratikūlam īhate TRANSLATION Hard-hearted Kṛṣṇa has already mounted the chariot, and now the foolish cowherds are hurrying after Him in their bullock carts. Even the elders are saying nothing to stop Him. Today fate is working against us.

Caitanya-bhāgavata Antya-khaṇḍa Chapter 2 Text 367 se sthāna śiva āji kahi tomā’-sthāne se purīra marma mora keha nāhi jane TRANSLATION “O Śiva, today I am revealing to you the glories of that place. No one else knows the secrets of that place.”

Forcibly brought under His control, we abandoned our homes, relatives, children and husbands just to serve Him, but He is always looking for new lovers.
Caitanya-bhāgavata Antya-khaṇḍa Chapter 2 Text 344 kene śiva tumi ta’ jānaha mora śuddhi eta-kāle tomāra e-mata kene buddhi TRANSLATION “O Śiva, you certainly know My prowess. How then did you develop such a mentality after all this time?”
Caitanya-bhāgavata Antya-khaṇḍa Chapter 2 Text 309 ‘śiva-priya sarovara’ jāni śrī-caitanya snāna kari’ viśeṣe karilā ati dhanya TRANSLATION Realizing that the lake was dear to Śiva, Śrī Caitanya eagerly took bath therein and made it glorious.
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Canto 10 Chapter 39 Text 21 krūras tvam akrūra-samākhyayā sma naś cakṣur hi dattaṁ harase batājña-vat yenaika-deśe ’khila-sarga-sauṣṭhavaṁ tvadīyam adrākṣma vayaṁ madhu-dviṣaḥ TRANSLATION O Providence, though you come here with the name Akrūra, you are indeed cruel, for like a fool you are taking away what you once gave us — those eyes with which we have seen, even in one feature of Lord Madhudviṣa’s form, the perfection of your entire creation.
In today's sanga, Śrīla Dhanurdhara Swami shares his realizations from his recent studies while on the road.

You bring embodied creatures together in friendship and love and then senselessly separate them before they fulfill their desires. This whimsical play of yours is like a child’s game.

Caitanya-bhāgavata Antya-khaṇḍa Chapter 2 Text 244 karite āchena nṛtya jagat-jivana parvata vidare hena huṅkāra garjana TRANSLATION The life and soul of the universe continuously danced and roared so loudly it appeared as though mountains could be broken asunder.
