"The Vrajavasis do not know what is Krishna. They are villagers but the Vrajavasis do not love anyone more then Krishna. That is their qualification. They do not even know Vishnu. Once when separated from Krishna, the gopis were madly searching for Shri Krishna. Krishna assumed the Vishnu murti and the gopis came upon this Vishnu murti as they were passing. They saw Him and said, 'Oh, here is Vishnu, all right, Namaskar. Have You seen our Krishna pass by here?' They were not interested even in Vishnu. They were interested in Krishna, although they do not know that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead"
"In Vrindavana, the Lord was not even known as Paramatma, because the residents of Vrindavana were pure unconventional devotees of the Lord, and could think of Him only as their object oflove"(SB2.2.9p.)."When something very wonderful happened because of Krishna's activities, the inhabitants of Vrindavana— the cowherd men and boys, Nanda Maharaja, Yasoda and others— were impressed, but they never considered their son Krishna to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Sometimes they suggested that some great demigod had appeared there as Krishna. In such an exalted status of devotional service, a devotee forgets the position of Krishna, and intensely loves the Supreme Personality of Godhead without understanding His position" (SB 10.3.53p.)"
"The residents of Vrindavana did not know Krishna's potencies and incarnations. They simply loved Krishna with their hearts and souls, and therefore they are considered most perfect" (SB 11.11.33p.)
And in the Chaitanya-caritamrita, we find the following:
" Because pure love, the devotees of Krishna in Goloka Vrindavana, Vraja-bhumi, loved Krishna as an ordinary human being like them. Yet although they considered Krishna one of them, their love for Krishna knew no bounds" (CC Antya 10.19p.). "In Vrajabhumi, Krishna is certainly the central point of love, and the inhabitants there know Krishna as a friend, son, lover or master" (CCMadhya9.131p.).

In the Srimad Bhagavatam we find,
"The Vrajavasis do not know what is Krishna. They are villagers but the Vrajavasis do not love anyone more then Krishna. That is their qualification. They do not even know Vishnu.
