spiritual exchange or  rasa  is fully exhibited in spiritual existence between living beings and the Supreme Lord.
The Supreme Personality of Godhead is therefore described in the  Śruti mantras , Vedic hymns, as “the fountainhead of all  rasas .” When one associates with the Supreme Lord and exchanges one’s constitutional  rasa  with the Lord, then the living being is actually happy.
These  Śruti mantras  indicate that every living being has its constitutional position which is endowed with a particular type of  rasa  which is to be exchanged with the Personality of Godhead. In the liberated condition only, this primary  rasa  is experienced in full. In the material existence, the  rasa  is experienced in the perverted form, which is temporary. And thus the  rasas  of the material world are exhibited in the material form of  raudra  (anger) and so on.
Therefore, one who attains full knowledge of these different  rasas , which are the basic principles of activities, can understand the false representations of the original  rasas  which are reflected in the material world. The learned scholar seeks to relish the real  rasa  in the spiritual form. In the beginning he desires to become one with the Supreme. Thus, intelligent transcendentalists cannot go beyond this conception of becoming one with the spirit whole, without knowing of the different  rasas .
In this  śloka , it is definitely stated that spiritual  rasa , which is relished even in the liberated stage, can be experienced in the literature of the  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  due to its being the ripened fruit of all Vedic knowledge. By submissively hearing this transcendental literature, one can attain the full pleasure of his heart’s desire. But, one must be very careful to hear the message from the right source.  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  is exactly received from the right source. It was brought by Nārada Muni from the spiritual world and given to his disciple Śrī Vyāsadeva. The latter in turn delivered the message to his son Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī, and Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī delivered the message to Mahārāja Parīkṣit just seven days before the King’s death. Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī was a liberated soul from his very birth. He was liberated even in the womb of his mother, and he did not undergo any sort of spiritual training after his birth. At birth no one is qualified, neither in the mundane nor the spiritual sense. But Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī, due to his being a perfectly liberated soul, did not have to undergo an evolutionary process for spiritual realization. Yet despite his being a completely liberated person situated in the transcendental position above the three material modes, he was attracted to this transcendental  rasa  of the Supreme Personality of Godhead who is adored by liberated souls who sing Vedic hymns. The Supreme Lord’s pastimes are
