PURPORT

When the living entity feels spiritual separation from Krsna (krsma-viraha), he
has achieved the prime success of life. When one becomes disinterested in mate-
rial things, he is simply experiencing the other side of attraction for material things.
However, feeling separation from Krsna and engaging in the service of the Lord to
fulfill His mission constitute the best example of love of Krsna. Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu wanted to point out this intense love of Krsna exhibited by Madha-
vendra Puri. All Caitanya Mahadprabhu's devotees later followed in the footsteps
of Madhavendra Puri, serving the Lord without personal considerations.
