way. The actual facts are understandable to real devotees. When these facts
are recorded, they are very congenial to the devotees, but one who is not a

If one does not understand in the beginning but continues to hear again
and again, the wonderful effects of Lord Caitanya’s pastimes will bring
love for Krsna. Gradually one will come to understand the loving affairs
between Krsna and the gopis and other associates of Vrndavana. Everyone
is advised to continue to hear over and over again in order to greatly
benefit.
