"Mahābhāva is the essence of a wish-fulfilling jewel. Though Kṛṣṇa is the origin of everything, this jewel, Rādhikā herself, fulfills all of Kṛṣṇa's desires — and she inspires him to have desires that he never had before, and then fulfills those as well."
RāmānandaRāya turns to the svarūpa of ŚrīmatīRādhārāṇī, and Gurudeva calls this the most beautiful meditation of all. Mahābhāva is the essence of cintāmaṇi: Kṛṣṇa is the origin of everything, and still there is one who fulfills His every desire. And it does not end with fulfilling. Their mutual inspiration goes further: she awakens in Him desires He never had before — and fulfills those as well. An ordinary jewel grants what is asked; this one first gives rise to the asking. Hear it with faith, Gurudeva says, and she herself will appear in the heart.
