In the material world, concupiscence may be temporarily aroused, but it dissipates as soon as it is indulged. By concupiscence is meant the attachment to the satisfaction of one's own senses, and a particular inclination towards sexuality.

But in the spiritual world, the love between Krishna and the gopis is ever increasing. This is what distinguishes spiritual love from material concupiscence. Concupiscence, the so-called love of the body, is as ephemeral as the body itself, whereas the love in the spiritual world is on the transcendental plane, that of the eternal soul. Is this love itself eternal.

In fact, concupiscence and sexuality are also part of the spiritual life. However, when the soul is incarnated in the material elements of the carnal envelope, the sexual impulse is expressed through the material body, and is only a distorted reflection of it. The attraction to the flesh is odious, whereas spiritual sexuality is all that is desirable, since it is based on the depth of feeling, on affection emanating from the heart.

Goddess Radharani is the supreme emblem of Krishna's power of bliss.

She multiplies into different forms, including those of the gopis. Her totally spiritual body is an evolving manifestation of transcendental joy.

This sublime body takes three forms of ablution: the first in the waters of compassion, the second in those of accomplished beauty, and the third in the waters of youthful radiance. His body is further decorated with the ecstatic manifestations of spiritual emotion: shivering, tears, amazement and cessation of all bodily functions due to spiritual pleasure, sweating, strangulation of the eyes, hypertension, insanity and staggering.

The power of transcendental bliss reveals nine decorative attributes, five of which are direct manifestations of her personal beauty, enhanced by garlands of flowers. His patient serenity is likened to an envelope of camphor-purified cloth. The torment of her intimate desire for Krishna is her bun, and the tilak of her grace shines on her forehead. Radharani's hearing is eternally fixed on the name and fame of Krishna. Her unspeakable attachment to Krishna blackens the outline of her eyes like a blush applied by nature to play on her and Krishna. Radharani's smile is like the scent of camphor. The bodice of anger from her ecstatic affection for Krishna covers her chest, and the stringed instrument that is hers testifies to her reputation as Krishna's friend par excellence. Though she possesses so many sublime attributes, she is constantly serving Krishna.

The Goddess Radharani is embellished by the emotions of the state in which a person in love is overwhelmed by certain feelings that cannot be suppressed, which include both grief and relief. All these manifestations of transcendental ecstasy are present in the body of the Goddess Radharani.
