The Goddess on Love
Srimati Radharani said: "If you
want to understand My love for Krsna then listen... Prema (love) is so great
that even the knowers of the Vedas cannot know it, nor others who claim to know
it. Sakhi! (the name of a companion) One who teaches prema (love) to an
inquisitive person cannot know it, nor can their hearer know it. It's all just
imitation! Prema (love) disappears before both the discriminate and
indiscriminate person, but that pure-hearted soul who is free from
discrimination and who is full of sacred greed, is able to approach the throne
of natural love. That is shown through the lover's activities, which are only
dedicated to the happiness of the beloved."
"O dear sakhi! In whom else in all
the three worlds or beyond them but in Krsna, the prince of the cowherds, is
this prema (love) to be found? Only the doe-eyed gopis of Vrndavana can relish
this, according to their qualifications."
"Of all these gopis, Lord Krsna is
most attracted to Me. That is well known in the world. That can never be false.
He considers My love to be as great as Mount Meru, and the love of the other
gopis to be like three or four mustard seeds."
