Tattva , Rasa , means knowledge and love . Are our relationships in decline, or are they relationships in positive developments ? There is a true science of relationships, and we can try to measure up to examine the criteria needed to understand how and if we are progressing with our material and, ultimately, spiritual lives . In one sense, love and knowledge can’t be measured, but in another formal sense, it can .
Srila Rupa Goswami, under the tutelage of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has very nicely defined this science of relationships in his writings .
Srila Ramananda Raya had taken these trancendental concepts of relationships to the highest of high in his conversations with Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu , and AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has indeed bestowed upon humanity the greatest of benedictions by translating these teachings and brought them into all the world languages with the help of his students.
Many other renowned Vaisnava scholars are also bringing this treasure of relationships to the attention of the world.
Love ultimately is an action word. What can I do for you in love? How can I please you , and it culminates in the highest of circles with a competition of love between living beings.
Such is the supremely pure and selfless nature of Sri Sri Radha Krishna , who are forever astounded by the quality of love and attraction that each give each other , friends and maidservants of Radha Krishna are relishing this competition of love just as much in their own ways .
This paints a picture of the spiritual worlds , a reflection of these dealings can be found in this world at times , however mostly we see the stark contrast and complete opposite of it , we see lust , anger , greed envy and wicked violence towards each other . We are all most unfortunate, but with the good fortune of having access to freedoms and expressions of progressive love , when we associate with God’s pure representatives, everything is clear .
We should all find the origins of love and be developing a service and love for Radha Krishna and not be in the relationships of decline or fast deterioration that takes us to the animal kingdom.
When it comes to understanding spiritual love or Rasa , it is always built on the foundations of Tattva or knowledge of Divinity in details , without which devotional life crumbles.
