Whoever has a touch of Kṛṣṇa-prema cannot live without it. If he was to leave it, he could not conceive of the pain of separation. It is stronger than a cobra’s poison. The burning sensation that comes from a cobra’s poison is nothing compared to the feelings of separation from Kṛṣṇa. (Religion of the Heart)

“We can advise everyone: proceed on with this source of divine love.”

“This is the hidden treasure of Krishna-lila and that’s come more hidden way in Gaura-lila.”
