Can we consider the successful Gopikas as sinless?

[Shri Bharath Krishna asked: Padanamskaram Swami, Kindly answer the following questions of mine. I have learnt from You that Shri Krishna has liberated all the Gopikas (who succeeded in His tests) by taking all their sins onto Himself. So can we consider those successful Gopikas as sinless souls right? If so, what is the difference between calling God as Sinless and such souls as sinless?

When such souls incarnate to participate in the divine mission of God, do they also go through suffering and experience misery? If so, what is the cause for such suffering or misery when they are sinless?]

Swami replied: When the punishments of all sins of Gopikas were taken by the Lord, as per logic, Gopikas are no more can be sinners. God by taking the punishments of sins of Gopikas, cannot become the sinner since He was not the doer of those sins. Hence, neither Gopikas nor Krishna can be sinners. When God comes to earth as Human incarnation, liberated souls also accompany God to help God in His mission. Actually, the omnipotent God can do all His work without any assistance. God agrees the assistance of liberated souls accompanying Him on the earth in order to please the liberated souls. In God’s work, which is the service of God, when liberated souls participate, they are not bound by the deed-fruit cycles in their lives. They are always detached from the fruits of deeds. Their suffering and enjoyment are only the path of yoga, in which equity of both happiness and misery exist. If such path of yoga is absent, they are not the real liberated souls. Such souls are mistaking themselves as liberated souls.
