Teachings of Lord Chaitanya
existence, Ramananda Roy replied that separation from a pure devotee is the most painful existence in human society. In other words, where there is no known devotee of the Lord, society becomes painful, and association also becomes painful. In the  Srimad Bhagwatam , Third Canto, 30th Chapter, it is stated that if somebody tries to become happy simply in association with society, friendship, and love—without Krishna Consciousness—he is in the most distressed condition, benefit of the association of a pure devotee.
Lord Chaitanya then inquired from Sri Ramananda Roy: “Out of so many so-called liberated souls, who is actually liberated?”
Ramananda replied that the person who is completely saturated with devotional love of Radha and Krishna is to be considered the best of all liberated persons. In the  Srimad Bhagwatam , Fifth Canto, it is stated that the association of a pure devotee is more desirable than life itself, and in separation from the association of the devotee, not even a second is passed happily.

Anyone who takes shelter of this story of Radha and Krishna enjoys actual happiness. In the  Srimad Bhagwatam , Tenth Canto, 33rd Chapter, it is said that the Lord, in order to show His actual life, displayed His Pastimes at Vrindaban; and any intelligent person who tries to understand the Pastimes of Radha and Krishna is the most fortunate. And that sort of song and story is the highest in the world.
Lord Chaitanya then inquired from Sri Ramananda Roy, “What is the most profitable thing in this world, the essence of all auspicious events?”
Ramananda Roy replied that there is nothing so profitable as the association of pure devotees.
Lord Chaitanya inquired: “What do you recommend a person think of?”
Ramananda Roy replied that one should always think of the Pastimes of Krishna. This is Krishna Consciousness. Krishna has multiple activities,
