My dear , one may wonder why would Krishna who is the Supreme All-Powerful Personality of Godhead allowed Himself to be bound with a rope by Mother Yasoda. To help us understand this Srila Prabhupada gives us this nice example in lecture he gave on the Srimad Bhagavatam in Los Angeles on June 5, 1976:
One may question that... They may neglect that "If Kṛṣṇa is God, why mother Yaśodā is binding Him?" But he does not know that is a pleasure. That is a pleasure. There are many instances. I'll cite one instance that there was a big prime minister in England, Gladstone. Perhaps you have heard the name. Queen Victoria's prime minister. So somebody came to see him, and the servant informed him that "The prime minister is little busy. You
wait." So he was waiting. One hour passed, and still no message. Then he opened the door. He wanted to see what the prime minister is doing. He saw that the prime minister has become a horse, and his grandchildren driving him. That is enjoyment. He is the prime minister but he has become a horse of his grandchild.

Srila Prabhupada is so wonderfully training us in the science of Krishna consciousness. Srila Prabhuada ki jaya!
