Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
knowledge in the form of impersonal spiritual realization and monism. But when the  samvit  factor of cognition is enlightened by the  hlādinī  potency of the same internal energy, they work together, and only thus can one attain knowledge of the Personality of Godhead. The  samvit-śakti  should be maintained in that state. Material knowledge and indirect spiritual knowledge are by-products of the  samvit-śakti .
TEXT 68
হ্লাদিনীর সার ‘প্রেম’, প্রেমসার ‘ভাব’।
ভাবের পরমকাণ্ঠা, নাম—‘মহাভাব’ ॥ ৬৮ ॥
hlādinīra sāra ‘prema’, prema-sāra ‘bhāva’ bhāvera parama-kāṣṭhā, nāma—‘mahā-bhāva’
SYNONYMS
hlādinīra —of the pleasure potency;  sāra —the essence;  prema —love for God;  prema-sāra —the essence of such love;  bhāva —emotion;  bhāvera —of emotion;  parama-kāṣṭhā —the highest limit;  nāma —named;  mahā-bhāva — mahābhāva .
TRANSLATION
The essence of the  hlādinī  potency is love of God, the essence of love of God is emotion [ bhāva ], and the ultimate development of emotion is  mahābhāva .
PURPORT
The product of the  hlādinī śakti  is love of Godhead, which has two divisions—namely, pure love of Godhead and adulterated love of Godhead. Only when the  hlādinī śakti  emanates from Śrī Kṛṣṇa and is bestowed upon the living being to attract Him does the living being become a pure lover of God. But when the same  hlādinī śakti  is adulterated by the external material energy and emanates from the living being, it does not attract Kṛṣṇa; on the contrary, the living being becomes attracted by the glamor of the material energy. At that time instead of becoming mad with love of Godhead, the living being becomes mad after material sense enjoyment, and because of his association with the qualitative modes of material nature, he is captivated by its interactions of distressful, unhappy feelings.
