Amrita Droplets - Lord Chaitanya's Teachings to Rupa Goswami at Prayag (Part 1)

Lord Chaitanya continued if the devotee continues watering the seed with the embroidery on nectarine shower of hearing and chanting, guarding against the offences and guarding against weeds, the bhakti lata beej grows. It grows beyond all the middle and upper planetary systems of this universe, beyond even Brahma Loka. It pierces the cover of the universe, it goes beyond even the entire material cosmos. Beyond material existence is an area called the Viraja. It is like a river that is the border between the material and spiritual worlds. The creeper pierces through the Viraja and enters into the spiritual sky. The unlimited all-pervading spiritual light of the lord, it continues to grow up to the level of the Vaikuntha planets. The devotee continues on hearing and chanting. The creeper enters into the supreme most of all spiritual abodes, Goloka Vrindavan. There, the creeper of devotion produces a beautiful ripened fruit, the fruit of pure unalloyed love for Krishna. That fruit of love of God is offered to the lotus feet of Sri Krishna. Krishna is very pleased to accept that love. And then the gardener tastes the sweetness of the fruit. Thus, he enters into a state of unlimited spiritual ecstasy. And meanwhile, he is still in the material world, hearing and chanting, while his devotional creeper is in Goloka Vrindavan.
