When You go out to meet Kṛṣṇa in the moonlit night, Your eyes fearfully move in all directions, like bumblebees turning the whole forest into blue lotus petal-interiors. Is this person not to be seen by these eyes? (Vilapa Kusumanjali, verse 13) Tika by Srila Ananta das Babaji and others Every verse of Vilāpa Kusumāñjali shows the sweetness of Śrīla Raghunātha Dāsa Gosvāmī’s love for Śrīmatī Rādhikā. The sweetness of each of Her limbs constantly causes a stir in his heart. Although he is eternally liberated, he still relishes the sweetness of devotion-in-practice. That shows how relishable devotion is, even in the stage of practice (sādhanā bhakti), and that some prema is already present even in that initial stage. There is sādhana bhakti, bhāva bhakti and prema bhakti and they are qualitatively included in each other, although each stage is quantitatively superior to the previous. If it were not so, then how could the desire to relish rasa awaken in the heart of the eternally perfect devotees? https://flowingnectarstream.wordpress/2014/12/21/radhikas-love-journey-abhisara/
