“Unalloyed love of Krsna is like the ocean of happiness. If someone
gets one drop of it, the whole world can drown in that drop. It is not befit-
ting to express such love of Godhead, yet a madman must speak.
However, even though he speaks, no one believes him.’

In this way, Lord Caitanya used to revel in ecstasy day after day and ex-
hibit these ecstasies before Svaripa and Ramananda Raya. Externally
there appeared severe tribulation, as if He were suffering from poisonous
effects, but internally He was experiencing bliss. This is characteristic of
transcendental love of Krsna.
