Who would have got even the tiniest needle head size hole view to the quintessence beauty that is Sri Ghanashyama in the company of the paragon of beauty that is lotus eye Srimati Radharani, and not be charmed into insane longing that renders the glitters of this world pale and benign!?
Who would have tasted the ambrosia remnants of eatables merely glanced upon by Nanda kumara and Vrsabhanu Nandini, and not develop aversion and allergy to even the most tasteful delecatessen of this world!?
Who would have once heard the fifth note flute sound of Sri Manohara even at semihemidemisemiquaver, through the tiniest part of her ear holes, and not have her heart turn into a desert in search of that Oasis that, that Venu perpetually kissed by Sri Gopala produces, and would not feel the entrance of the sound of even the most melodious musical composition of this world into her ears as if a band of wasps enters her ears to inflict multiple stings on her heart!?
Who would have been able to utter any other name apart from Rama and Ramani, after having once tasted the celestial juice that oozes from the cavity of his heart, and courses like heavenly ganga of blood through the membranes of his bodily cells, performing Sankirtana of Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare!?
Who would not have been desolate in this world of hate, where arrival of hope always seems so late!?
Adi Kavi Sri Brahma says “Alas!” as He laments the fate of the loafer Abiodun seeing him still charmed by the world and the things of it!!!
