TRANSLATION
““*When one is in ecstatic love with the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
one’s heart is melted by bhakti-yoga, and one feels transcendental bliss.
There are bodily symptoms manifest, and, due to eagerness, there are tears in
the eyes. Thus one is subjected to spiritual bliss. When the heart is overly
afflicted, the meditative mind, like a fishing hook, is gradually separated from
the object of meditation.’
