Contemplation of Krishna slackens the hold allurement of the false ego. Krishna is the positive! I recall when Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Maharaj had glimpses of pure Krishna consciousness, then he would consider, "no, this is not it." That is, he still had recollection of him self, separate self interest, up to the point of mysticism. Krishna consciousness is full absorption in the interests and pleasure of Krishna. We know from Lord Chaitanya's example, which is the heart and halo of Srimati Radharani, that the mood of separation from Krishna is intolerable for the pure devotee. There is no room for separate desires. Meditating upon those sentiments, following in the footsteps of the Goswamis of Vrindaban, one prays that they may be acceptable to Lord Krishna. But, even if He handles me roughly by His embrace, He is always my worshipable Lord, birth after birth. Worshipping the mood of the gopi-jana bhava, not imitating superficially or materially, but with deep appreciation, heartfelt and sincere self-abnegation. Pusta Krishna das
