Kṛṣṇa’s Beauty Overwhelms All Consciousness

“The consciousness of each woman within the three worlds is certainly like a high hill, but the sweetness of Kṛṣṇa’s beauty is like an ocean. Even a drop of water from that ocean can flood the entire world and submerge all the high hills of consciousness.

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 15.19, translation
