Page 169 - Ecstasy and Agony in the Journey to Infinity
P. 169

The co-traveler is accepted as a Divine only. I take you to be Divine only. The other person in the path is the Divine. Why are we all sitting together if we do not accept unity among ourselves? I accept you, you accept me because of Divinity only. Otherwise, why should I accept you? It is not lust, not out of lust. Divine infatuation as contrasted to the infatuation, one of the earliest stages. Take Meera’s bhakti to Lord Krishna, is it not vyamoha? Isn’t that bhakti that type of vyamoha? Are they singing saying Mohana Krishna? Why do they sing like that? It is vyamoha only. It is bhagavatvyamoha. It cannot be confused with lower thing. Bhakti has the shringara rasa, we cannot deny it. The whole story of Andal, the entire amukta malyada is that, the whole book is shringara rasa only. Krishna Chaitanya consciousness is that, it is Krishna vyamohamu, whole of the cult is based on that. You cannot claim the status of Master to Chaitanya because Babuji accepts him. Babuji has quite a few messages that he has taken from him. He uses the word Gauranga. Chaitanya is what we have added. Sri Krishna Chaitanya is the title given to him, his name is Gauranga only.
