Oh my friends, just think of His wives, whose hands He has accepted; how much must they have had undergone vows, bath, sacrifice in the fire for perfectly worhipping this Lord of the universe as result of which they are now constantly relishing the nectar from His lips (by kissing). The damsels of Brajabhumi would faint often being expectant of such favors.

Religious rites prescribed in the scriptures are meant for purifying mundane qualities of the conditioned souls and thus becoming gradually promoted to the stage of rendering transcendental service unto the Supreme Lord. Attainment of this stage of pure spiritual life is the highest perfection and the stage is called Swarupa or factual identity of the living being. Liberation means to renovate this stage of Swarupa and in that perfect stage of Swarupa the living being is established in five phases of loving service of which the stage of service as between husband and wife is called Madhurya Rasa or in the humour of conjugal love. The Lord is always perfect in Himself and as such He has no hankering for Himself. He, however, becomes a master, a friend, a son or a husband in terms of fulfilling the intense love of the devotee concerned. Herein two classes of devotees of the Lord are mentioned in the stage of conjugal love. One is Swakiya and the other is Parakiya. Both of them are in connection with conjugal love with the Personality of Godhead Krishna. The queens at Dwarka were Swakiya or duly married wives but the damsels of the Braja were young friends of the Lord while He was unmarried. The Lord stayed at Vrindaban till His age of sixteen and His friendly relation with the neighbouring girls were in terms of Parakiya. These girls as well as the queens both underwent severe penances in taking vows, bathing, offering sacrifice in the fire as they are prescribed in the scriptures; as purificatory rites. The rites, as they are, are not end in themselves neither fruitive action culture of knowledge or achieving perfection in mystic powers are end in themselves. They are all means to attain to the highest stage of Swarupa for rendering one's constitutional service transcendental to the Lord. Each and every living being has his individual position in either of the above mentioned five different kinds of reciprocating means with the Lord and in one's pure spiritual form of Swarupa the relation becomes manifest without any mundane affinity. The kissing of the Lord either for His wives or for His young girl friends who aspired to have the Lord as their fiance is not of any mundance perverted quality. Had such things been of any mundane quality a liberated soul like Sukdeva would not have taken the trouble of relishing them neither Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu would have been inclined to participate in those subject after His renouncing the worldly life. The stage is earned after many birth's prosecution of penances.

O friends, just think of His wives, whose hands He has accepted. How they must have undergone vows, baths, fire sacrifices and perfect worship of the Lord of the universe to constantly relish now the nectar from His lips [by kissing]. The damsels of Vrajabhūmi would often faint just by expecting such favors.

Religious rites prescribed in the scriptures are meant to purify the mundane qualities of the conditioned souls to enable them to be gradually promoted to the stage of rendering transcendental service unto the Supreme Lord. Attainment of this stage of pure spiritual life is the highest perfection, and this stage is called #i#svarūpa#/i#, or the factual identity of the living being. Liberation means renovation of this stage of #i#svarūpa#/i#. In that perfect stage of #i#svarūpa#/i#, the living being is established in five phases of loving service, one of which is the stage of #i#mādhurya-rasa#/i#, or the humor of conjugal love. The Lord is always perfect in Himself, and thus He has no hankering for Himself. He, however, becomes a master, a friend, a son or a husband to fulfill the intense love of the devotee concerned. Herein two classes of devotees of the Lord are mentioned in the stage of conjugal love. One is #i#svakīya#/i#, and the other is #i#parakīya#/i#. Both of them are in conjugal love with the Personality of Godhead Kṛṣṇa. The queens at Dvārakā were #i#svakīya#/i#, or duly married wives, but the damsels of Vraja were young friends of the Lord while He was unmarried. The Lord stayed at Vṛndāvana till the age of sixteen, and His friendly relations with the neighboring girls were in terms of #i#parakīya#/i#. These girls, as well as the queens, underwent severe penances by taking vows, bathing and offering sacrifices in the fire, as prescribed in the scriptures. The rites, as they are, are not an end in themselves, nor are fruitive action, culture of knowledge or perfection in mystic powers ends in themselves.

The kissing of the Lord, either by His wives or His young girl friends who aspired to have the Lord as their fiance, is not of any mundane perverted quality. Had such things been mundane, a liberated soul like Śukadeva would not have taken the trouble to relish them, nor would Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu have been inclined to participate in those subjects after renouncing worldly life. The stage is earned after many lives of penance.
