140 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Antya-lila, Ch. 5
TRANSLATION
‘A transcendentally sober person who, with faith and love continuously
hears from a realized soul about the activities of Lord Krsna in His rasa dance
with the gopis, or one who describes such activities, can attain full transcen-
dental devotional service at the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of God-
head. Thus lusty material desires, which are the heart disease of all ma-
terialistic persons, are for him quickly and completely vanquished.’
PURPORT
All the activities of Lord Krsna are transcendental, and the gopis are also tran-
scendentally situated. Therefore the activities of the gopis and Lord Krsna, if
seriously understood, will certainly free one from material attachment. Then there
is no possibility that lusty material desires will awaken.

“If a transcendentally situated person, following in the footsteps of Srila
Rapa Gosvami, hears and speaks about the rasa-lila dance of Krsna and is al-
ways absorbed in thoughts of Krsna while serving the Lord day and night with-
