Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
When Śrīman Mahāprabhu’s ecstatic mood would disappear, He would ask the devotees, “Have I created any mischief with My body or mind? If I have, then why didn’t I die at that moment?” During Mahāprabhu’s manifestation of opulence, He would often place His lotus feet on the heads of the devotees and consider Advaita His servant. The next moment, accepting the mood of a devotee, He would set an example for the devotees by displaying His own humility. The Vaiṣṇavas informed Him of these topics.
