Na bhaktā svecchayā dharmaṃ,
laṅghate Daiva kāraṇāt।
Laṅghatāṃ Daiva pṛṣṭā cet,
tat parīkṣyā mahattvidam॥

[When the devotee herself decides to cross justice even though God has not asked for that, the devotee clearly proves that she herself wants to break the justice under the disguise of love for God. In this case, it cannot be said that the devotee had crossed justice for the sake of God. If the devotee is asked by God to cross justice for His sake and then if the devotee crosses justice, such devotee in such context alone is said to have passed the test of God and is said to have crossed justice for the sake of God. This is the most important point in sweet devotion.]

 

Madhura prema bhaktis syāt,
madhu kāmo na cātma dhīḥ।
Madhu bhaktā dvādaśaiva,
navanīta arpaṇa āturāḥ॥

[Madhura Bhakti or sweet devotion is only Madhura Prema or sweet love. Mahura Kaama or sweet lust cannot be Madhura Bhakti or sweet devotion. In sweet lust, there is aspiration for selfish pleasure from God, whereas in sweet love, there is no any selfish aspiration because sweet love is full of sacrifice to God. When I stole butter, almost all Gopikas complained to My mother against Me since they were selfish to give the butter to their children and not to God. Hence, the devotion of the majority of Gopikas is sweet lust only and not sweet love. Only 12 Gopikas can belong to real sweet devotion or sweet love because they were very anxious that I shall steal their butter and enjoy their butter!]

 

Parīkṣāyāṃ arpaṇaṃ hi,
navanīta mudarṇave।
Parīkṣāpanato naiva,
navanītārpaṇās svayam॥

[Gopikas did not offer butter to Me by themselves since they know that I have plenty of butter in My house. Similarly, a real devotee will not direct her lust towards Me since the devotee knows that I have infinite bliss. Only when I desired and stole their butter, the 12 Gopikas offered their butter to Me with pleasure. Even these 12 Gopikas did not run after Me offering their butter by themselves. Similarly, a real devotee will not run after Me offering her lust by herself. When I test her by appearing as if I am interested in lust with her, then only whether the Gopika crosses the justice offering her lust to Me or not becomes My test.]

 

Kṣmābhāvāt kali yuge,
dvāpare tat pradarśitam।
Jñāna śravaṇa kālo'sti,
nāyaṃ dṛṣyo bhaviṣyati॥

[This Rāsa dance is not arranged in Kali age and this is arranged in the Dvāpara age to preach souls of Kali age. You may argue that if this dance is to preach the Kali age, this dance must be conducted in the Kali age itself. The reason is that the people in Dvāpara age have better patience than the people of Kali age. Patience of the sweet devotee is very much required in her transformation from Duṣpravṛtti (unjust worldly life) to Pravṛtti (justified worldly life). The Duṣpravṛtti devotee first gets attracted by God, who shows interest in illegal lust as initial-attraction-chocolate. If patience is there, the devotee will patiently hear the spiritual knowledge from God without jumping to the illegal affair immediately as soon as the devotee reaches God. In Kali age, due to lack of patience, the devotees will not hear the spiritual knowledge and immediately jump for the illegal affairs with God. Hence, this divine Rāsa dance with devotees having patience is not possible in the Kali age.]

 

Arthavādaḥ kvāpya labhyaḥ,
puruṣairapi yājakaiḥ।
Virāme jñāna mārgeṇa,
parivartana māśritam॥

[Actually, the chocolate is only shown and not given to the Duṣpravṛtti-sinful female devotee immediately. God delays the practical offer of the chocolate to buy some time. In this time gap, the spiritual knowledge is preached and the devotee raises to justified Pravṛtti level. In this whole process, the chocolate is only shown and is never given. The same above trickish white lie (arthavāda) is played in the case of male devotees also. The male devotees are told that they will get heavenly dancers for enjoyment after death by doing the Vedic sacrifices while alive on this earth. Here, there is no possibility of giving chocolate while the male devotee is alive. Meanwhile, during the time gap, until the time of death is reached, the male devotee raises to the perfect justified Pravṛtti level due to the spiritual knowledge preached by the Sadguru (Sa Guru mevābhi gacchet…śrotriyaṃ Brahma niṣṭham). Here also, the chocolate is only shown and not practically given at any point of time since the heaven never contains such illegal activities. Hence, both male and female devotees are transformed in the same way.]
