Will pleasing Your most devoted followers help us to obtain Your grace?

[Smt. Lakshmi Lavanya K asked: Pada namaskaram Swami. I want to add one more question to the previous list. Yesterday I have listened to bhagavatham pravachanam

"In brundavana, everyone chants Radha Radha because Krishna is pleased by Radha, so if we please Radha, she helps us to get the grace of Krishna, Radha Rani is not selfish, her wish is everyone in this world should get grace the of Krishna, so for that, all gopikas helped Radha to attain Krishna, Radha Rani is the gold medalist in the service of Krishna. All gopikas knew that, so they didn't get jealousy and helped her to attain Krishna so that she can help them to please Krishna."

Now I am thinking in the same way with You also, Your dearest devotees are already gold medalists, if we please them, they can help us to get Your grace. Please correct me if I am wrong. Pada namaskaram Swami.]

Swami replied: This is a totally wrong concept, Radha will be pleased if you please Krishna. Radha is not pleased if you please her. The reason is that the entire pleasure of Radha is Krishna only. The entire value of the total spiritual ground is based on God alone and not on anything else or anybody else. A monkey came to Rama and told “You are unable to build the bridge on the sea. But, when we write Your name on the stones, they are not sinking in the water and we are building the bridge with the help of the power of Your name. Hence, Your name is more powerful than Yourself”. Rama just smiled at the comment of the ignorant monkey. Then, as usual, the monkey wrote the name of Rama on a stone and dropped in the ocean. The stone immediately sank and reached the bottom of the ocean! Then, the monkey realised and requested Rama to excuse it for its ignorance. Even the power of the name of Rama is based on Rama Himself. The entire power is in God and not in anything else or anybody else.
