Thus it is impor­tant to note the the­o­log­i­cal point embed­ded in the devo­tional exal­ta­tion of enjoyment–it is not that enjoy­ment is the best way to wor­ship Krishna, nor that it is his most char­ac­ter­is­tic qual­ity, nor even that it is his best. It is that he him­self is the qual­ity of enjoy­ment. Only in enjoy­ment, in expe­ri­enc­ing or “tast­ing’ him, can we both be and see him.

Radha-Krishna awaken these mod­u­la­tions in us, sat­is­fy­ing our long­ings for love, knowl­edge, and peace in an inte­gra­tive synthesis.

From our human point of view, Radha-Krishna, in their intrin­sic form, pos­sess infi­nite poten­cies, infi­nite attrib­utes, and all divine excel­lences. They con­sti­tute the ulti­mate source of every­thing, the prime cause of all causes. They pos­sess spir­i­tual bod­ies, which are beau­ti­ful beyond words. They man­i­fest in many places simul­ta­ne­ously, and no qual­i­ta­tive dif­fer­ence exists between these […]
