Aranya Maharaja: …in the process of bhakti, it seems that this is not spontaneous, so much hard endeavor and natural love is not coming. So why, if love for Krishna is spontaneous, why is it not coming naturally, as one is naturally going towards maya.
Srila Narayana Maharaja: By an example you can understand this. Naturally lauhika chumbak akarsana.
Aranya Maharaja: A magnet attracts iron.
Srila Narayana Maharaja: Naturally, but if rust is there on the iron, or it is covered with mud or anything, then magnet cannot attract iron. It is natural, by constitutional position, that magnet will certainly attract iron, but the iron should be pure. If it is not pure, this natural attraction will not come. So rust has come on our constitutional position. The attraction is natural if you are pure. If the soul is pure, then it is natural that spontaneous love certainly will come. It is in his natural position, his natural constitution. But now some worldly desires have come, and that is why it is covered with two things. One is this material body, gross body, and the other is subtle body. If they will go away, oh, natural, spontaneous love is there. That is why a process should be adopted like that adopted by our acaryas, who have spontaneous love for Krishna, like Rupa Gosvami, like Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, like Krishna Himself in the shape of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, always spontaneous love. Have you heard that when He was in Puri, in Gambhira, always "Ha Krishna, Ha Krishna. Where is He?" And sometimes, "Oh, Krishna is here," and He's embracing Him. He is weeping. And if he is serving Krishna in the shape of Radhika, or gopi, you can see spontaneous love, always weeping, always weeping. Rupa Gosvami was the same. You can see Raghunatha dasa Gosvami. How pathetic his life is there, oh, spontaneous love. Sometimes meeting, sometimes separation, both, and this is the symptom of that love. So you will realize this.
