Narada emphatically says the love for the auspicious qualities which qualifies our mind and body making my Mother MAHAKALI prefer us HER permanent residence, should be similar to the love exemplied by the Love of Gopis of Brindavan;
You may wonder why Narada has taken the example of the milk maids for his Love subject

(Note :
for those who do not know Uddhava
Uddhava (also known as Pavanayadhi) is a character from the Puranic texts of Hinduism, who is the friend and counsellor of Krishna the Avatar.
He plays a significant role in the Bhagavata Purana, being taught the processes of yoga and bhakti directly by Krishna . The principle of these discussions is often referred to as the Uddhava Gita, similarly to the Bhagavad Gita wherein Krishna instructs Arjuna.
According to some texts Uddhava was also Krishna's cousin, being the son of Devabhaga, who was the brother of Vasudeva, Krishna 's father. His physical appearance was so like that of Krishna 's that in some instances he is temporarily mistaken for the latter.)
Once, Uddhava went to Gokulam with a message from Krishna to the gopikas.
Uddhava told them: "I have brought for you a remedy for the pain you are suffering as a result of separation from Krishna . You must take this medicine. Through this yoga you will be relieved of the roga (the ailment) from which you are suffering."
The gopikas replied: "Oh, Great One! We do not suffer from any malady. Hence we don't need any yoga. It is enough if we know the yoga by which we can get back Krishna ."
Uddhava asked: "What is this yoga?"
A gopika replied: "The ordeal we enjoy on account; of thyaga (renunciation) is itself a kind of yoga."
Uddhava observed: "How can there be anything common between renunciation and enjoyment? The renunciation does not seek enjoyment. The one who enjoys is not concerned about renunciation. As the two are irreconcilable, how can you regard the enjoyment of separation as form of yoga?"
The gopika said: "You simpleton! Is this all you have learnt from your nearness to Krishna ? When a person gives up egoism in his doings and attachment to the enjoyment of their fruits, then Thyaga (sacrifice), Yoga (spiritual austerity) and Bhoga (enjoyment) become one. First get rid of the conceit that I am the doer. Then free yourself from the desire to enjoy the fruits of your actions. When you have no attachment to the fruits of your actions and have no sense of ego in what you do, then there is no difference between Yoga and Bhoga."
Uddhava asked the gopikas, "If you are not prepared even to listen to Krishna's message, what sort of devotion do you have towards Krishna ? What is the form of your devotion?"
HERE COMES THE BEAUTIFUL ANSWER FROM THE DIVINE MILK MAIDS:
The gopikas gave the essence of yoga in the following words:
"Uddhava! We have only one mind. That mind is no longer with us. It has gone to Mathura along with Krishna . As we have no mind of our own and have become totally mindless, how can we receive your message? If we had ten different minds like you, we could listen to your message, think about Krishna , attend to the commands of our mothers-in-law and husbands and do other things."
