00:00:00 — Radhika says: “Krishna, please apply alta to My feet.” Krishna fulfills everything that Radha says
00:02:35 — Who is Krishna? He is the one who has no anxiety, responsibility, or obligations. Example: Lord Ramachandra, who had responsibilities
00:05:08 — Srila Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami said: Krishna performs His pastimes like a human being; there are different lilas, and the Lord manifests moods according to His devotees
00:08:23 — When Krishna entered Kamsa’s arena, there were 12 different devotees in 12 different rasas, and each received darshan according to their svarupa. There are three types of the Lord’s lilas: raja, devi, and nara-lila. The most beautiful age is keli-kishor
00:13:20 — Mahaprabhu says: just as a young boy and girl are naturally attracted to each other like a magnet; Krishna reaches maturity in His naravat-lila
00:15:20 — Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu beautifully explains how in maturity bhava manifests in lila—how Radhika becomes shy hearing certain words, shows anger outwardly, but is happy within Her heart
00:17:10 — Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said in His conversation with Raya Ramananda: “What do you know about meeting?” Then Mahaprabhu covered his mouth so he would not speak further
00:20:10 — Prema is when you hear about the beloved, see them, and listen about them. Shravanam-jati prema arises from hearing about the beloved’s glories; sahaja-prema manifests naturally. Example of shravanam-jati: Rukmini writes a letter to Krishna and sends it through her brother. Example of darshan-jati: Kubja, who was hunchbacked and ignored by everyone, applied cosmetics in Kamsa’s palace; when she saw Krishna, love awakened in her. The shastras, especially Shrimad Bhagavatam, describe gopi-prema. Gopi-prema is sahaja-prema. Raya Ramananda explained how quickly the gopis fell in love with Krishna—within the time of a blink. The eyes are very powerful
00:25:29 — The first meeting happens through the eyes; then one begins to think of the other, and then arises the desire to attain them. Example: Bharata Maharaj and the deer
00:27:11 — When you love, you do not see faults; example: a mother’s love
00:29:25 — Signs of love: meeting of eyes, desire to attain, fainting, and so on; love manifests in several stages
00:32:40 — Transcendental love and its stages: “Your heart is my heart.” Srila Rupa Goswamipad explains in Ujjvala-nilamani: sneha, pranaya, and so on. When Srimati Radhika saw Krishna herding cows, tears flowed from Her eyes. When Krishna asked, “Radha, why are You crying?” She replied, “Dust from the cows’ hooves entered My eyes.” When Radha cooks, She remembers Krishna and cries; Jatila and Kutila notice and ask, “Why are You crying while cooking?” She replies, “Smoke from the stove entered My eyes.” Their hearts are so united that they become one and are very difficult to separate. Example: if a glass is full of water and more water is poured into it, it overflows—but in the transcendental realm, it only increases more and more
00:44:30 — Material love is like throwing oneself into fire; it is not true love. Example: at the peak of the Himalayas there is a tree that gives fruits of gold, and the demigods come down to take them. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur explains that this represents the sadhaka, who can attain asakti, ruci, sneha, and so on
00:49:03 — Example: lioness’s milk—it can only be held in a golden vessel; in any other vessel it will spoil. Similarly, the material body cannot sustain prema
00:51:30 — Separation and meeting are like two sides of a coin—both are valuable. Without separation there is no meeting; the greater the separation, the sweeter the meeting. There are four kinds of separation and four kinds of meeting
00:56:40 — In Western culture, a boy and a girl may remain together without even getting married
