Sloka that speaks about the process to attain svarupa-siddhi: martyo yadā tyakta-samasta-karmā niveditātmā vicikīrṣito me tadāmṛtatvaḿ pratipadyamāno mayātma-bhūyāya ca kalpate vai (SB 11.29.34).
1st diksa, then surrender, then Krsna maintains the devotee, and through sadhana comes absorption in Krsna, until finally, the devotee attains svarupa-siddhi.
Even Lalita and Visaka, who are parama-prestha-sakhis, sometimes seek advice from the manjaris.
Raghunatha Gosvami prays to serve in the same mood as Rupa Gosvami (as sadhaka) and Rupa Manjari (as manjari).
Srngara-rasa is the extra-marital mood of Vraja.
Learn a few slokas, relish them, and the heart will become joyful.
Tattva-siddhanta from the Brahma Samhita and rasa-siddhanta from the Gosvamis’ books are equally important and should be studied together.
