Dadāti pratigṛhṇāti. Everything is defined in the Vedic literature. Love means one should give and should accept also.
Dadāti pratigṛhṇāti bhuṅkte bhojayate (Upadeśāmṛta 4). One should give the lover eatables and accept eatables from him or her. Dadāti pratigṛhṇāti bhuṅkte bhojayate guhyam ākhyāti pṛcchati ca . . . you should not keep anything secret within your mind, and the lover should not keep anything secret within the mind. If these six kinds of exchanges are there, then there is love. And that love should be without any reason and without being stopped by any material cause.

<div class="text">
To love Kṛṣṇa,&#10;you don't require any material acquisition. No material acquisition will help.&#10;So if somebody says: "Oh, I have to bring fruit and flower at least, and&#10;incense to the temple, otherwise . . ." Yes. That is the sign of love.
&#10;&#10;
The sign of love&#10;is six. Six. They are six in number. What is that? You give something to your&#10;lover and you accept something from your lover. If you simply go on giving your&#10;lover, and if you don't . . . your lover does not give you something, then&#10;there is no love. Dadāti pratigṛhṇāti. Everything is defined in the&#10;Vedic literature. Love means one should give and should accept also.
&#10;&#10;
Dadāti&#10;pratigṛhṇāti bhuṅkte bhojayate (Upadeśāmṛta 4). One should give the lover&#10;eatables and accept eatables from him or her. Dadāti pratigṛhṇāti&#10;bhuṅkte bhojayate guhyam ākhyāti pṛcchati ca . . . you should not keep&#10;anything secret within your mind, and the lover should not keep anything secret&#10;within the mind. If these six kinds of exchanges are there, then there is love.&#10;And that love should be without any reason and without being stopped by any&#10;material cause.
&#10;&#10;
So how nicely it&#10;is stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam that sa vai puṁsāṁ&#10;paro dharmo yato bhaktir adhokṣaje, that is the highest principle of&#10;religion. You can accept any kind of religion, it doesn't matter. You be Hindu&#10;or Mussulman or Christian, it doesn't matter. The test is whether you have&#10;developed that causeless . . . causeless love for God, and whether that&#10;execution of loving affair is going on without being stopped by any material&#10;reason. That is the test of religion. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, how nice&#10;this is, the definition of . . .
&#10;&#10;
sa vai puṁsāṁ&#10;paro dharmo
&#10;&#10;
yato bhaktir&#10;adhokṣaje
&#10;&#10;
ahaituky&#10;apratihatā
&#10;&#10;
yayātmā&#10;suprasīdati
&#10;&#10;
([[Vanisource:SB 1.2.6|SB 1.2.6]])
&#10;&#10;
If you can&#10;develop such for love for God, without any cause, without being checked,&#10;without being stopped for any material reason, then you will feel suprasīdati,&#10;all satisfaction—no more anxiety, no more dissatisfaction. You will feel the&#10;whole world full of pleasure. Viśvaṁ pūrṇaṁ sukhāyate (Caitanya-candrāmṛta).
&#10;&#10;
One devotee says&#10;that "If one has learned this causeless love for God . . ." One of&#10;the devotee of Lord Caitanya says, he says that through Lord Caitanya—because I&#10;have quoted so many ślokas from Lord Caitanya's writing—He has&#10;actually taught how to love Kṛṣṇa, or God. That is the most significant point&#10;of His preaching work. Therefore Rūpa Gosvāmī, when first saw Lord Caitanya, he&#10;offered his respect to Lord Caitanya. This is the same attitude.
&#10;&#10;
He was dancing&#10;in the front of Bindu-mādhava at Prayag—the Prayag description I have already&#10;given you—and at that time Rūpa Gosvāmī went to meet Him, and he fell down&#10;before His lotus feet and prayed with these words. What is that?
&#10;&#10;
namo&#10;mahā-vadānyāya
&#10;&#10;
kṛṣṇa-prema-pradāya&#10;te
&#10;&#10;
kṛṣṇāya&#10;kṛṣṇa-caitanya-
&#10;&#10;
nāmne&#10;gaura-tviṣe namaḥ
&#10;&#10;
([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 19.53|CC&#10;Madhya 19.53]])
&#10;&#10;
"My dear&#10;Lord, You are the most magnificent, charitable incarnation. There are many&#10;incarnations of God, but You are the most magnificent . . . munificent." Not&#10;magnificent, magnificent is also there. Why? "Because You are distributing&#10;love of God." Love of God: kṛṣṇa-prema-pradāya te.
&#10;&#10;
Therefore this&#10;love of God cannot be distributed by anyone unless he is empowered by God. No&#10;ordinary man can. If he's not a lover of God, how he can distribute love of&#10;God? If one is poor man, how he can be a charitable man? Similarly, unless&#10;Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the ideal figure, how He loved Kṛṣṇa? You see His&#10;picture, only . . . not even twenty-four years, because at the age of&#10;twenty-four years He left home. His wife was only sixteen years old, His mother&#10;was seventy-five years old, very old lady, but He left home for&#10;distributing kṛṣṇa-prema, love of Kṛṣṇa.
&#10;&#10;
So this is the&#10;best kind of religious principle, to understand how to become a lover of God&#10;and distribute this knowledge, how to love God. That is the best religion. So&#10;this description of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, definition of&#10;religion, sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo yato bhaktir adhokṣaje ahaitukī ([[Vanisource:SB 1.2.6|SB 1.2.6]]),&#10;without any cause, apratihatā, without being checked up, without&#10;being infected by any materialism.
&#10;&#10;
So Kṛṣṇa&#10;consciousness is so beautiful thing that it does not require any material&#10;acquisition, neither it can be checked by any materialism. Anywhere, any part&#10;of the world, at home or out of home, anywhere you can, with your ecstasy, you&#10;can chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, and you attain love of God very quickly.
