Balakrishna to Geethacharya 2
Now let us look at Krishna after He came to Mathura and then to Dvaraka,. He showed no miracle in Mathura as his feats except straightening the back of Kubja were all feasible for any strong warrior ( Bheema could have done all that with the same ease) He rather concealed His powers and played the part of a dutiful son and a disciple until he had to pay His gurudhakshiNa by bringing back the son of His guru and later fulfilled the wish of his mother also who wanted to see her sons killed by Kamsa. But even this could be done through yoga siddhi. He was simply showing His valiant nature while in Mathura and when He left for Dvaraka , there we see His divine power in making Visvakarma build the city and transporting all people in Mathura to Dvaraka overnight.
Then we come across Krishna as a husband. He married Rukmini and others and discharged His duties as a grhastha giving them children and living happily in Dvaraka. But there is an incident in Bhagavtham where His divinity is seen. When Narada came to see how Krishna was managing with so many wives ( as a confirmed bachelor he was unable to understand perhaps even about managing with one wife!) , Narada saw Krishna in every house engaged in different household functions.
And finally he saw Krishna in a hut all by Himself worshipping some thing. Narada was surprised as he knew the real identity of Krishna and could not understand whom He would be worshipping. Then Krishna showed him a vessel in which there was nothing but ordinary street mud. Krishna said that it was the padhadhooli of His devotees. This is the special aspect of the love of Krishna but we shall come to it later.
