He takes seriously only his own relationship with Krsna.
PURPORT
When a devotee reaches the stage of pure unalloyed devotion, especially in friendship with Krsna, he forgets the Lord’s opulences, although he sees them, and he considers himself equal to Krsna.
There is no question of actually comparing oneself to Krsna, but because the devotee is so advanced in Krsna consciousness, he is able to behave with Krsna as he would with an ordinary man.
