Man walks with two legs: iha and para (this world and the other), dharma and Brahaman, righteousness and God! If he is totally engrossed in this world, he is choosing to travel all his life with a handicap; hopping on one leg. That is fraught with trouble; he may fall any moment and break his shin. And he does! Goodness in this world, Godliness for the life after death - equal attention to both and vigilance while taking a step with either foot - these are essential for a happy journey through life. You have to put the right foot, the Brahman step, when you enter the region of realisation. The senses have to be conquered by then. 'Go' means 'senses' and 'Gopi' means a person who has subdued the senses, as a result of surrender to Gopala, the master of the Go (senses). Krishna once told Arjuna that he can enter Vrajamandala (the region where the Gopas and Gopis lived), only after mastering his emotions and impulses and his tendency to yield to the senses.
