“O Govinda! Feeling Your separation, | am considering a moment to be like twelve
years or more. Tears are flowing from my eyes like torrents of rain, and | am feeling
all vacant in the world in Your absence.”’ It is the aspiration of a devotee that while
he chants the Hare Krsna mah@-mantra his eyes will fill with tears, his voice falter
and his heart throb. These are good signs in chanting the holy name of the Lord. In
ecstasy, one should feel the entire world to be vacant without the presence of
Govinda. This is a sign of separation from Govinda. In material life we are all sepa-
rated from Govinda and are absorbed in material sense gratification. Therefore, when
one comes to his senses on the spiritual platform he becomes so eager to meet
Govinda that without Govinda the entire world becomes a vacant place.

“‘Chanting the holy name in ecstasy causes one to dance, laugh and cry.’ When
My spiritual master heard all this, he smiled and then began to speak.
PURPORT
When a disciple very perfectly makes progress in spiritual life, this gladdens the
spiritual master, who then also smiles in ecstasy, thinking, ‘“‘How successful my
disciple has become!”’ He feels so glad that he smiles as he enjoys the progress of the
disciple, just as a smiling parent enjoys the activities of a child who is trying to stand
up or crawl perfectly.
