About how Maya caught the jivas who turned their faces towards her instead of looking at Krsna.
About transcendental knowledge, jnana, and the realization of knowledge, vijnana.
To get free from Maya, it is important to cleanse the heart with Harikatha in sadhu-sanga.
About Rupa Gosvami’s highest katha: when Srimati Radhika is looking at the beautiful and ever-fresh form of Sri Krsna eating fruit, and Krsna ends up kissing Her on the cheek, leaving a beautiful red mark.
When you practice sadhana-bhakti, the first two leaves of bhakti will appear: klesa-ghni (all kinds of suffering are destroyed from the heart) and subhada (all auspiciousness begins to manifest, good qualities).
The heart will be completely cleansed of anarthas only in the bhava stage, although a whiff of anarthas will still remain.
When Srimati Radhika is in maan, Sri Krsna trembles all over, His flute falls from His hands, He cannot bear Himself and faints. Even His peacock feather falls from His hair. Thus we see that Srimati Radhika controls Sri Krsna.
When we reach the bhava-bhakti stage, two more leaves manifest and prema becomes more condensed.
In the prema stage, Krsna Himself will come to give you His darsan, He Himself will come to you.
