Adi-lila, Chapter 4 293

the feelings of the devotees and the Lord. Materialists are most abominable in their
ideas. They think that they can enjoy directly perceivable gross objects by their
senses and that they can similarly deal with the transcendental features of Lord
Caitanya. But the Lord is understood only in pursuance of the principles laid down
by the Gosvamis, headed by Svaripa Damodara. Doctrines like those of the nadiya-
nagaris, a class of so-called devotees, are never presented by authorized persons like
SvarGpa Damodara or the six Gosvamis. The ideas of the gaurdnga-nagaris are simply
a mental concoction, and they are completely on the mental platform.

radhikara bhava yaiche uddhava-darsane

SYNONYMS

radhikara—of Srimati Radharani; bhava—emotion; yaiche—just as; uddhava-
darsane—in seeing Sri Uddhava; sei—that; bhdve—in the state; matta—maddened;
prabhu—Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu; rahe—remains; rdtri-dine—day and night.

TRANSLATION

Just as Radhika went mad at the sight of Uddhava, so Lord Caitanya was
obsessed day and night with the madness of separation.

PURPORT

Those under the shelter of the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu can under-
stand that His mode of worship of the Supreme Lord Krsna in separation is the real
worship of the Lord. When the feelings of separation become very intense, one
attains the stage of meeting Sri Krsna.

So-called devotees like the sahajiyds cheaply imagine they are meeting Krsna in
Vrndavana. Such thinking may be useful, but actually meeting Krsna is possible
through the attitude of separation taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
