The abode of love , the object of love .
Srila Jiva Goswami in his Bhagavat Sandarbha speaks of the importance of meditations on the reality of form , the spiritual form of God , is not atoms , elements or compounds.
When the constantly strengthening and increasing rivers of the abode of love meet with the constantly expanding and agitated tumultuous ocean of the object of love, it begins to churn the unlimited ocean of ecstatic attraction, the waves rise and fall reaching ever new heights and sinking to increasing depths as unions become separation and separations become union .
We should endeavour to make sure the abode of love of our own hearts ,although miniscule in comparison to the best of abodes , is following the best of abodes and meeting the correct object .
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada would say, “Don’t love Dog love God …
Don’t get your life and love reversed ….
This process of thinking of Krishna and ultimately His name form and pastimes that enables the living being to aquire a spiritual form is spoken of in Bhagavad Gita as well .
Bg. 9.34
मन्मना भव मद्भक्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु ।
मामेवैष्यसि युक्त्वैवमात्मानं मत्परायण: ॥ ३४ ॥
man-manā bhava mad-bhakto
mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru
mām evaiṣyasi yuktvaivam
ātmānaṁ mat-parāyaṇaḥ
