Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Śrī Caitanya Caritāmrita Ādi 4.108
rādhikāra bhāva yaiche uddhava-darśane
sei bhāve matta prabhu rahe rātri-dine
SYNONYMS
rādhikāra — of Śrīmatī Rādhārānī; bhāva — emotion; yaiche — just as; uddhava-darśane — in seeing Śrī Uddhava; sei — that; bhāve — in the state; matta — maddened; prabhu — Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu; rahe — remains; rātri-dine — day and night.
TRANSLATION
Just as Rādhikā went mad at the sight of Uddhava, so Lord Caitanya was obsessed day and night with the madness of separation.
PURPORT
Those under the shelter of the lotus feet of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu can understand that His mode of worship of the Supreme Lord Krishna in separation is the real worship of the Lord. When the feelings of separation become very intense, one attains the stage of meeting Śrī Krishna.
So-called devotees like the sahajiyās cheaply imagine they are meeting Krishna in Vrindāvana. Such thinking may be useful, but actually meeting Krishna is possible through the attitude of separation taught by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
