Dive into the tumultuous ocean.
Abodes , objects , rivers, and oceans
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 spiritual form , specifically the spiritual forms of God , which are not comprised of atoms , elements or compounds. Wherever Krishna is , so are His associates, He is never alone.
When the constantly strengthening and increasing rivers of the abode of love , Suratarangani Sri Radhe , being churned by the strong currents of feelings of seperation and desires for union , meet with another constantly expanding and tumultuous agitated ocean , who is the object of Her love , Sri Krishna , the two begin to expediently and unlimitedly expand the unlimited oceans of ecstatic spiritual attractions for one another . The waves of this unlimited ocean of trancendental loving affairs Radha Krishna rise and fall, but are also reaching ever new heights and as well sinking to ever increasing depths as unions become separation , and then mysteriously such intense separations transform into union . Prema Vivarta .
We should endeavour in our spiritual lives to become very eager to develop and increase our hankering for serving the most exalted Sadhus , “he reasons ill that say that Vaisnavas die when they eternally reside in sound ” and by Sastra sanga, only by their blessing and by the blessings of the present sadhus we may be able to approach in an attitude of service and humility . Radha Krishna and Their associates and activities are elaborated upon by the six Goswami’s , who Mahāprabhu taught .Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami in his class in London on Radhastami in the late 60s informs us we have to understand Krishna in the mood of separation as Srimati Radharani displayed , and as Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu demonstrated. Our fixed meditations and increased hankerings and feelings and searchings will make sure the beginnings of any love in our hearts become steady and sturdy . By understanding Srimati Radharani and her position as the ultimate abode of love , within our own hearts some miniscule attraction may be granted to us , by the grace of Her pure devotees. Srimati Radharani and Her companions may bless us , those who we aspire to become the servant of the servant of , our great param para acaryas, and only by their blessing will our aspirations increase more and more . Our taste for hearing about the spiritual realms and our interests to serve Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu wishes and assist in some way in spreading the Sankirtana movements will increase. Glorious activities of every kind can increase if we follow the instructions of those who represent properly Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His instructors the six Goswami’s headed by Sri Rupa and Ragganatha Goswami’s.
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada would say, “Don’t love Dog love God …
Don’t get your life and love mixed up and reversed ….
This process of thinking of Krishna , His name , His form, and pastimes will enable , in time , the living being to acquire a spiritual form , through the Sankirtana movement and Chanting of the Holy names , the whole of Vrndavana decends , Hare Krishna means Radha Krishna, and a desire to serve and bring Them together.
