Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

We should not imitate Rādhārāṇī. Caitanya Mahāprabhu . . . just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He's the symbol of Rādhārāṇī's mahā-bhāva. He says that "I do not love Kṛṣṇa. I do not know how to love Kṛṣṇa." Then if you . . . somebody, if somebody says: "Then why You are crying?" "Well, that is a show. I am making a show. I am crying." Then what is the symptom? "The symptom is that if I would have loved Kṛṣṇa, then without Him I have died long, long ago. I should have died. I am living still without Kṛṣṇa, that means I do not love Kṛṣṇa." This is mahā-bhāgavata-bhāva, separation.

We must understand what is God, what is Kṛṣṇa. Perfect understanding. And tad-adhīna, and His devotees. Īśvare tad-adhīneṣu bāliśa. Bāliśa means innocent person. They are un . . . I mean to . . . they do not know actually what is God. And dviṣat. Dviṣat means envious. The four classes of men: God, His devotee, innocent person and envious person, demons.

So the person who is promoted to the second stage, he'll deal with these four classes of division differently. Īśvara-prema. One should try to learn how to love Kṛṣṇa. Yato bhaktir adhokṣaje (SB 1.2.6). That is first class. And tad . . . īśvare tad-adhīneṣu bāliśeṣu dviṣatsu ca, prema, prema, love for Kṛṣṇa, and maitrī, and to make friendship with the devotees. Prema-maitrī. And kṛpā: those who are innocent, one should be merciful. The devotee should be merciful, just to awaken their Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

And dviṣatsu ca upekṣāḥ: and those who are envious, they should be rejected. These four classes . . . to try to love Kṛṣṇa, to make friendship with devotees, and to give some service to the innocent public who does not know what is God, and those who are envious, asuras, they should be rejected. The madhyama-adhikārī should not touch the demons, because maybe he may turn again, be demon. Therefore one should be very careful to associate with the demons.

But when one becomes uttama-adhikārī, mahā-bhāgavata, he does not see anyone as demon. He sees, "Everyone is worshiping Kṛṣṇa. I am not worshiping." This is mahā-bhāgavata. Just like Rādhārāṇī. Rādhārāṇī always feels that "I do not know how to love Kṛṣṇa. Oh, he . . . here is a gopī. How she loves Kṛṣṇa." That is Her . . . this is called mahā-bhāva.

So we should not imitate Rādhārāṇī. Caitanya Mahāprabhu . . . just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He's the symbol of Rādhārāṇī's mahā-bhāva. He says that "I do not love Kṛṣṇa. I do not know how to love Kṛṣṇa." Then if you . . . somebody, if somebody says: "Then why You are crying?" "Well, that is a show. I am making a show. I am crying." Then what is the symptom? "The symptom is that if I would have loved Kṛṣṇa, then without Him I have died long, long ago. I should have died. I am living still without Kṛṣṇa, that means I do not love Kṛṣṇa." This is mahā-bhāgavata-bhāva, separation.
