The Gopis having kept the sacred dust of the Feet of Sri Radhaji upon their Forehead have attained their God of worship-Sri Krishna. Their worship of Radhaji has taken them to their Goal i.e. Sri Krishna.
But the innate Bhava of Sakhi or Rasika Mahatma has been ellucidated in Chaitanya Charithamrutham, it says:
"Inexplicable is the Bhava (innate feel) of Sakhi, her mind won't prefer to play with Krishna."
SAKHI'S GOAL IS SRI RADHA. HER ATTENTION IS ONLY ON THE LOTUS FEET OF SRI RADHA.
Sakhi is an eternal servant-maiden of Swamini Sri Radhaji. Absolute Tatsukhee Bhav (A Bhava - "in your happiness lies my happiness") towards Radhaji is latent in her. Sakhi's life is a quintessential form of this Bhava. Her everything is for Radhaji. Her every step is for the pleasure of Radhaji. Sakhi Bhava is Rasa Bhav. when a devotee remains in the service and meditation of Radhaji incessantly he is called Rasika Bhaktha. A devotee to become a Sakhi adorns himself/herself with these Divine qualities..
ANANYA NISHTA - Single-mindedness towards Sri Radhaji
TATSUKHA SUKHEE BHAV - In her happiness lies my happiness
SAHACHARINI BHAV - Feeling of companionship with Radhaji
SAKAKA NIRAKARA UPASANA SAMANVAYAM - Coordinated worship of form and formless
