274 Sri Caitanya-caritamyta
knowledge in the form of impersonal spiritual realization and monism. But when
the samvit factor of cognition is enlightened by the A/ddini potency of the same
internal energy, they work together, and only thus can one attain knowledge of the
Personality of Godhead. The samvit-sakti should be maintained in that state. Material
knowledge and indirect spiritual knowledge are by-products of the samvit-Sakti.

sara—the essence of such love; bhdva—emotion; bhavera—of emotion; parama-kastha

TRANSLATION
The essence of the hladini potency is love of God, the essence of love of God is
emotion [bhava] , and the ultimate development of emotion is mahabhava.
PURPORT
The product of the A/adini sakti is love of Godhead, which has two divisions—
namely, pure love of Godhead and adulterated love of Godhead. Only when the
hladini Sakti emanates from Sri Krsna and is bestowed upon the living being to
attract Him does the living being become a pure lover of God. But when the same
hladini Sakti is adulterated by the external material energy and emanates from the
living being, it does not attract Krsna; 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.
