Vrajavasis have spontaneous anuraga (deep attachment) to Krsna.
To achieve the mood of vrajavasis one must practice raganuga-bhakti under the guidance of a parikara.
Detailed explanations on: dasya, sakhya and vatsalya bhavas.
About the senses and the objects of the senses.
The jiva (tatastha-sakti), cit-sakti, sanvit, sandini, hladini, are the various potencies of the Lord.
Ragatmika are those eternal servants of Krsna. One should serve under their guidance.
The sadhaka should not think that he is Mother Yasoda or another parikara as this is impersonalism and destroys Bhakti.
What is true greed. With sukrti alone one cannot achieve prema-bhava.
One must listen to harikatha from a pure devotee, the payment is his longing to hear and thus can achieve understanding.
First sravana and kirtana in perfect form, then it will be possible to do smarana.
About sadhana-rupena and siddha-rupena.
About the fire of separation. In the alternation of separation and meeting, the sweetness of love manifests itself.
Analogy between the whirlpools of the wild ocean and the oceanic feelings of the gopis in the rasa dance: vibhava (alambhana and uddhipana), anubhava, sattvika, vyabhicari, visaya-alambhana, and asraya-alambhana.
Rasa arises when the forty-nine ingredients unite in the devotee’s staybhava.
Parties in this world are made by Maha-Maya, fleeting; In the spiritual world, happiness is eternal.
In the tumultuous ocean of the gopis’ unfathomable feelings, Krsna holds on to the gopis’ necks so as not to fall into the rasa dance.
All the demigods are perplexed and faint as soon as the rasa dance begins.
Even Krsna of Dvaraka faints upon seeing His own Tribhanga-lalita form.
