107
In the final portion of His pastimes, Lord Caitanya was obsessed with the madness of separation from Lord Krishna. He acted in erroneous ways and talked deliriously
108 Just as Radhika went mad at the sight of Uddhava, so Lord Caitanya was obsessed day and night with the madness of separation.
109 At night He talked incoherently in grief with His arms around SvarOpa Damodara's neck. He spoke out His heart in ecstatic inspiration.
130 "Nothing is purer than Her love. But its behavior is always perverse and crooked"
133
"I taste the bliss to which the object of love is entitled. But the pleasure of Radha, the abode of that love, is ten million times greater.
134
"My mind races to taste the pleasure experienced by the abode, but I cannot taste it, even by My best efforts. How may I taste it?.
135 "If sometime I can be the abode of that love, only then may I taste its joy."
140 "Although Radha's love is pure like a mirror, its purity increases at every moment.
142 "There is constant competition between My sweetness and the mirror of Radha's love. They both go on increasing, but neither knows defeat.
149
The thirst of one who always drinks the nectar of that sweetness is ,never satisfied. Rather, that thirst increases constantly.
152 (The gopis say:) "0 Krishna, when You go to the forest during the day and we do not see Your sweet face, which is surrounded by beautiful curling hairs, half a second becomes as long as an entire age for us. And we consider the creator, who has put eyelids on the eyes we use for seeing You, to be simply a fool."
153 "The gopis saw their beloved Krishna at Kurukshetra after a long separation. They secured and embraced Him in their hearts through their eyes, and they attained a joy so intense that not even perfect yogis can attain it. The gopis cursed the creator for creating eyelids that interfered with their vision."
154 There is no other consummation for the eyes than the sight of Krishna. Whoever sees Him is most fortunate indeed.
157 The sweetness of Lord Krishna is unprecedented, and its strength is also unprecedented. Simply by hearing of such beauty, the mind becomes unsteady.
169 Social customs, scriptural injunctions, bodily demands, fruitive action, shyness, patience, bodily pleasures, self-gratification and the path of varra? Yama dharma, which is difficult to give up-the gopis have forsaken all these, as well as their own relatives and their punishment and scolding, for the sake of serving lord Krishna. They render loving service to Him for the sake of His enjoyment.
170 That is called firm attachment to lord Krishna. It is spotlessly pure, like a clean cloth that has no stain.
