Verse 6: Ecstatic symptoms of Bhava

July 24: Verse 6 - As we start chanting Hare Krishna Mahamantra, serving devotees, serving Guru and Krishna, then after anartha nivrutti, we come to nishta, then we enter the stage of bhava. These are all the symptoms of ecstasy. This verse tells about this bhava stage.

We should not artificially show this, but CM is explaining as to when will the day come when I am completely Krishna Conscious and feel separation from you.
Pastime: Mahaprabhu directly going into Ganga, shouting Krishna Krishna. CM says: I don't have any love for Krishna. It is a fact that I am living means I don't have any love for Krishna.

This was Mahaprabhu's ecstasies. Devotees then did not know what to do. That is a stage of bhava. But we are all very very conditioned. We should not imitate.

Srila Rupa Goswami is saying, when we do bhajana kriya, we should not do mechanically. The days are running by. We should do it sincerely from our side we should chant properly, do your sadhana and follow spiritual master's instruction, it is Krishna who will take care of everything, He will reveal everything then. That too very soon, as soon as we deserve.

That's why our chanting should be with feeling!
