Thus, the one who develops a deep knowledge of these different emotions, which are the basis of all action, can understand that the feelings of the material universe are only a distorted reflection of the original feelings of the spiritual world.
The true scholar longs to taste pure emotion, in its spiritual form. At a lower level, others simply desire to merge into the Absolute, and until they have any knowledge of the various emotions, even the most intelligent of spiritualists fail to rise beyond this. identification with the spiritual Whole, God, and therefore ignore all of the true happiness which results from the true feelings, the true emotions, in their absolute purity, as exchanged by the holy beings with Krishna, in his absolute and eternal realm.
The real motive for Krishna's coming to earth 5,000 years ago was that He desired to stage His divine entertainments, and thus show the highest perfection of the sweet feelings of spiritual love that are exchanged the Lord with the holy beings in his absolute kingdom, but also to the living being in this world.
Krishna who is also the Absolute Truth, is the reservoir of all kinds of love exchange. Full of unmotivated mercy, He wishes to grant us the privilege of devotional service offered to His Person in a feeling of transcendent ecstasy, which exerts on Him an attraction superior to any other form practiced according to the defined rules.
The Lord said : The conception of My greatness permeates the whole universe, but the love diminished by such a vision of My Person hardly satisfies Me.
I do not submit to the love of him for whom I remain the Supreme Lord and who places himself in a subordinate position. He cannot subjugate Me to his desires. I respond to the adoration of My devotee according to the particular transcendental feeling which animates it. This is My nature.
The Lord, by his intrinsic nature, reveals himself to each devotee, according to his own devotional service. The entertainments of Vrindavana, the supreme planet where he resides, have demonstrated that although God is generally worshiped in a sense of reverence, the Lord is more satisfied if the devotee regards Him as his beloved son, his personal friend or his beloved. loved and if he serves Him animated with such natural affection.
In these transcendent relationships, the Lord submits to the love of his devotee. Such pure love for God is not tainted with any trace of superfluous non-devotional desires, and is not tied to self-serving action or empirical speculation in any form.
Pure and natural, love arises spontaneously when one reaches the absolute level. Such devotional service takes place in a favorable atmosphere, free from all material affection. This is the purest service of love and devotion offered to Krishna, God, the Supreme Person.
