Text 56] The Later Pastimes of Lord Caitanya 39
PURPORT
In Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.29.15) it is stated:
kamarh krodham bhayam sneham
aikyam sauhrdam eva ca
nityarh harau vidadhato
yanti tanmayatam hi te
The word kaéma means lusty desire, bhaya means fear, and krodha means
anger. If one somehow or other approaches Krsna, his life becomes suc-
cessful. The gopis approached Krsna with lusty desire. Krsma was a very
beautiful boy, and they wanted to meet and enjoy His company. But this lusty
desire is different from that of the material world. It appears like mundane
lust, but in actuality it is the highest form of attraction to Krsna. Caitanya
Mahdaprabhu was a sannydsi; He left home and everything else. He could cer-
tainly not be induced by any mundane lusty desires. So when He uses the
word madana-dahane (“in the fire of lusty desire”’), He means that out of pure
love for Krsna He was burning in the fire of separation from Krsna. Whenever
He met Jagannatha, either in the temple or during the Ratha-yatra, Caitanya
Mahaprabhu used to think , “Now | have gotten the Lord of My life and soul.”

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu used to sing this song [seita parana-natha]

take Krsna and go back to Vrndavana.”’ This ecstasy was always filling His
heart.
