Other emotions take twenty different forms. They come partly from the body, partly from the mind and partly from habits. As far as emotions related to the body are concerned, they are expressed through posture and movement. The emotions linked to the mind are revealed in beauty, radiance, complexion, moods, speech, magnanimity and patience. As for the so-called habitual emotions, they manifest as entertainment, pleasure, preparation and forgetfulness. The tilak of grace adorns the forehead of Goddess Radharani, who also wears the medallion of prema-vaichittya, this state being that of lovers who meet but who nevertheless dread separation.
Her thoughts as well as her words never cease to be about past or future entertainments with Krishna. She intoxicates Krishna with sweet words that flow from her lips, and she is always ready to satisfy his every desire. In short, she fulfils all the expectations of Lord Krishna with her unusual, not to say supernatural, attributes.
Krishna is constantly absorbed in his love for Radharani and goes to the groves of Vrindavana to exchange tenderness with her. In this way, He satisfies His loving instincts, which have nothing to do with those practiced in the material universe.
The gopis develop the highest form of love for God and as such are a very good example.
Infinitely happy indeed is he who can see Krishna, for there is no other perfection for the eye.
Let us take the example of the gopis. The gopis (Krishna's companions in Vrindavana, the transcendental kingdom. They embody the highest devotion to the Lord because of their love for God), who were subjugated to Krishna, were bound to him by a love of such purity, free from any trace of sexual desire for sense pleasure. The sole purpose of their existence was to see Krishna happy in all circumstances, without any consideration for their personal interests. They dedicate their souls to the sole satisfaction of God, the Supreme Person. There is no trace of sexual love between the gopis and Krishna.
The sages who know the knowledge of the spiritual world and experience the material sphere, rightly state that sexual love is selfish pleasure, because it is personal and self-serving.
All the regulative principles mentioned in the Vedas, the original holy scriptures, for obtaining fame, paternity, wealth, etc., are various aspects of a quest for material satisfaction. Acts aimed at satisfying the material senses can be concealed in various forms such as; social works, nationalism, religion, altruism, moral principles, biblical principles, healthy living, self-interested action, shyness, tolerance, personal comfort, liberation from bondage to matter, progress, family affection, fear of social ostracism or legal punishment, but all these motivations are but by-products of the same desire, namely, the search for satisfaction for one's own sense.
