CC Ādi 4.197 —
There is another natural symptom of the gopīs’ love that shows it to be without a trace of lust.
CC Ādi 4.198 —
The
love of the gopīs nourishes the sweetness of Lord Kṛṣṇa. That sweetness
in turn increases their love, for they are greatly satisfied.
CC Ādi 4.199 —
The
happiness of the abode of love is in the happiness of the object of
that love. This is not a relationship of desire for personal
gratification.
CC Ādi 4.200-201 —
Whenever
there is unselfish love, that is its style. The reservoir of love
derives pleasure when the lovable object is pleased. When the pleasure
of love interferes with the service of Lord Kṛṣṇa, the devotee becomes
angry toward such ecstasy.
CC Ādi 4.202 —
“Śrī
Dāruka did not relish his ecstatic feelings of love, for they caused
his limbs to become stunned and thus obstructed his service of fanning
Lord Kṛṣṇa.”
CC Ādi 4.203 —
“The
lotus-eyed Rādhārāṇī powerfully condemned the ecstatic love that caused
a flow of tears that hindered Her sight of Govinda.”
When due to devotional service we get some material comforts do I relish in them or do I put them aside seeing them to be a distraction in my service?
