at that time, his eyes fully long to turn towards vrajendra nandana to lick the blackness of his limbs (uhyama lina), the rosy hue of his lips and eye-rims (arunima), the white brilliance of his moon-like teeth shining in his smiling face (dhavalima), and the yellow hue of his clothing and ornaments (pitima). They thenbegin to bathe his body in profuse streams of tears. Like he is running here and there, freezing its motion at every moment and raising his ears, he longs for his ears to be decorated with the earrings of the song of krishna's flute, the jingling of his anklets, and the sweet intonation of his voice (sausvarya) almost like a direct order to serve his lotus feet. Then thinking how the longed for touch of the lord's tender hands (kishalya-sparsha) must be, his body erupts in ecstasy. His nostrils open wide repeatedly and inhale, anxius to examinethe fragrance of the lord's body (saurabhya). “oh, will i ever be able to taste the nectar of the lord's lips?” feeling like he has attained that taste (rasana), his tongue feels great joy and he licks his lips.
sometimes, feeling like he has obtained direct realization of the lord in his heart (sphurti), he feels unlimited happiness in his mind. tasting the rare treasure of the sweetness (madhurya) of the lord, he becomes delirious. Then, at the disappearance of that feeling, he plunges into grief. In this way, it is as if heis decorating his body with the thirty-three symptoms of sanchari-bhava. In the states of wakefulness, sleep and deep sleep, his intelligence becomes resolutely fixed as the pilgrim on the path his remembrance of krishna. His self-conceit (ahamta, i) almost gives up the material body of the sadhak as nearlylifeless and practically enters into a siddha-deha (spiritual identity) according to his desire to serve the lord in a specific manner. His sense of possessiveness (mamata, mine) becomes like a bee to relish the nectar of the lord's lotusfeet. Having obtained the most precious jewel of bhava, the devotee tries to hide it like a miser from the ordinary people. However, the faomus logic says a bright face reveals hidden wealth (the face is the index of the mind). Thus, advanceddevotees will recognize his internal status as he becomes the residence of such wonderful qualities as renunciation and tolerance which manifest themselves at the stage of bhava. Common people, being unable to discern these qualities, will conclude that his mind is distracted or mad.
