Guest guest Posted June 20, 2000 Report Share Posted June 20, 2000 > "Love means: To be unable to live without the beloved". > > Surabhi Swamiat (that time) This statement does come from him, it comes from Lord Caitanya & also from Narada Muni: Cc Madhya 2.45 na prema-gandho 'sti darapi me harau krandami saubhagya-bharam prakasitum vamsi-vilasy-anana-lokanam vina bibharmi yat prana-patangakan vrtha TRANSLATION Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu continued, "`My dear friends, I have not the slightest tinge of love of Godhead within My heart. When you see Me crying in separation, I am just falsely exhibiting a demonstration of My great fortune. Indeed, not seeing the beautiful face of Krsna playing His flute, I continue to live My life like an insect, without purpose.' TEXT 47 yate vamsi-dhvani-sukha, na dekhi' se canda mukha, yadyapi nahika `alambana' nija-dehe kari priti, kevala kamera riti, prana-kitera kariye dharana TRANSLATION "Even though I do not see the moonlike face of Krsna as He plays on His flute, and although there is no possibility of My meeting Him, still I take care of My own body. That is the way of lust. In this way, I maintain My flylike life. Narada-bhakti-sutra TEXT 19 naradas tu tad-arpitakhilacarata tad-vismarane parama-vyakulateti Narada, however, says that bhakti consists of offering one's every act to the Supreme Lord and feeling extreme distress in forgetting Him.
