Going Towards Soul's World
Q: “If you love without evoking love in return – if through the vital expression of yourself as a loving person you fail to become a loved person, then your love is ‘impotent, it is a misfortune.” — Karl Marx “Private Property and Communism So Maharaj, could you make a bridge from communism to Vaishnavism? — Unrequited love. — Basis of love in this world is toward animated bodies, not towards what is animating this body. — False ego. — We are judged according to our physical appearance. — Take the path of “seeing by hearing”. Subjective visualization. Going towards atma. — Love and affection: mundane — brahmananda — bhakti. — Seasonal experience of happiness. — Happiness — consciousness — objective world: order and scale. — The Infinite is constituted of happiness. — Servant and slave: sounds good? — Everything is made of sweetness in the upper world. — Devotion is identified when the Infinite is coming under the control of the finite. — The Infinite can be controlled by love and affection, not by the algorithms. — Uddhava wants to become a creeper in Vrindavan, the land of Braja-gopis, who own Krishna. — “I don't have enough to give you. And I'm the Infinite.” Let the virtue be its own reward. — The payback from Krishna comes as Mahaprabhu. — Guru-rupa of Krishna is Gauranga who spreads the glories of Srimati Radharani. He is the hidden avatar who comes not as God, but as the supreme devotee.

All this talk about love and affection, and being reciprocated — its target are just animated bodies. It's not towards what is animating the body, but just the body that's being animated. No atma-darshan or seeing of the soul-self.
The ultimate Reality is love and happiness, beauty, charm and sweetness — and what? — Personified. Those things don't exist as impersonal, primordial elements.— No, consciousness can not be divorced of personality — neither can love or happiness. They are not independent elements.
Krishna-prem is not a thing of this world, it's not the thing of the objective world. But it is the thing in the subjective world. And we are, innately, subjective agents, trying to transition from being riveted to objective world; external, objective notions of self toward the pure subjective plane. — Atma, paramatma world.
Without consciousness the Sun doesn't illumine anything. There is no observable illumination without an observer. So, what really is it? — It's atma that allows you to see. Atma is the sun and paramatma's the supreme sun, of which jiva's kiran — ray.
