In plain words
He cannot bear separation. He strives at all times only for union.
The learning we learn, the things we come to know, the lives we live, are not eternal. All of these pass away. That does not mean we should give up these studies. As long as we have a bond with the world, we must carry out our duties! We must go on with our lives! We must bear our hardships! But in our goal we must choose only the eternal Prema whose form is Satya. True devotees will not consent to live apart. They do not consent to keep God at a distance. They long only for the oneness of the two. As a river reaches the sea, as oil joins oil, as milk mixes with milk, the jīva must merge in God. To long for such oneness is Bhakti, is prapatti.
The people of Dvārakā thought, "Kṛṣṇa is ours," and the Gopīs, "O Kṛṣṇa! We are Yours," they thought.
There is a great difference between Bhakti and supreme Bhakti. There is a great difference between worldly Prema and divine Prema. Worldly Prema is ready to receive from others. Supreme, most sacred Prema is ready to give to others. It is free of all selfishness. There is no likeness at all between such sacred Prema and worldly Prema. But people who do not know, unable to tell how the two are related, take this for that and that for this, and so fall into certain misconceptions. This is the difference between the Gopīs and the people of Dvārakā in the Bhāgavatam. The people of Dvārakā used to think, "Kṛṣṇa is ours, our kinsman, our relation." So their Ahaṅkāra grew. Ahaṅkāra, sooner or later, brings a downfall. That is why the Yādavas fell. The feeling of the Gopīs was not like that. "Kṛṣṇa! We are Yours," they said, and offered themselves up. Because they offered themselves up, they took on an infinite form. If we keep a single drop of water on our palm, after a while it evaporates.
