Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 2.48
Pure Love Makes Every Spot Visible
“Love for Lord Kṛṣṇa is very pure, just like the waters of the Ganges. That love is an ocean of nectar. That pure attachment to Kṛṣṇa does not conceal any spot, which would appear just like a spot of ink on a white cloth.
What the purport teaches
- Love for Lord Kṛṣṇa is very pure, like the waters of the Ganges, and is an ocean of nectar.
- The purport compares unalloyed love of Kṛṣṇa to a big sheet of white cloth. Absence of attachment is like a black spot upon it.
- Just as a black spot stands out on white cloth, the absence of love of Godhead is prominent on the platform of pure love.
