Day0086 SB 1.6.15-18_Spiritual feelings of happiness and intense ecstasies

meditate upon the Supersoul situated within as had learned from liberated souls.
under the shadow of a banyan tree in an uninhabited forest
meditate upon the lotus feet of the Personality of Godhead with mind transformed in transcendental love
tears rolled down eyes, and without delay the Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, appeared on the lotus of heart.
exceedingly overpowered by feelings of happiness, every part of body became separately enlivened.
Being absorbed in an ocean of ecstasy, could not see both self and the Lord.
transcendental form of the Lord satisfies the mind’s desire and at once erases all mental incongruities
Upon losing that form, suddenly got up, being perturbed, as is usual when one loses that which is desirable.
One should not meditate according to one’s personal whims
One should know perfectly well from the authoritative sources of scriptures through the transparent medium of a bona fide spiritual master and by proper use of one’s trained intelligence for meditating upon the Supersoul dwelling within every living being
consciousness is firmly developed by a devotee who has rendered loving service unto the Lord by carrying out the orders of the spiritual master.
The first initial stage is called śraddhā, or a liking for the Supreme Lord, and in order to increase that liking one has to associate with pure devotees of the Lord.
bhāva stage is attained after one has transcendental affection for the Lord.
third stage is to practice the prescribed rules and regulations of devotional service.
This will dissipate all sorts of misgivings and remove all personal deficiencies that hamper progress in devotional service
When all misgivings and personal deficiencies are removed, there is a standard faith in transcendental matter, and the taste for it increases in greater proportion
This stage leads to attraction, and after this there is bhāva, or the prior stage of unalloyed love for God
Being so surcharged with transcendental love, there comes a strong feeling of separation which leads to eight different kinds of ecstasies
Tears from the eyes of a devotee is an automatic reaction, and because Śrī Nārada Muni in his previous birth attained that stage very quickly after his departure from home, it was quite possible for him to perceive the actual presence of the Lord, which he tangibly experienced by his developed spiritual senses without material tinge.
Spiritual feelings of happiness and intense ecstasies have no mundane comparison.
glimpse of Spiritual ecstasy in the words of Śrī Nārada Muni. Each and every part of the body or senses has its particular function.
After seeing the Lord, all the senses become fully awakened to render service unto the Lord because in the liberated state the senses are fully efficient in serving the Lord.
As such, in that transcendental ecstasy it so happened that the senses became separately enlivened to serve the Lord.
This being so, Nārada Muni lost himself in seeing both himself and the Lord simultaneously.
Lord is not formless is experienced by Nārada Muni. His form is completely different from all forms of our material experience
special features of the transcendental form of the Lord: (1) satisfy the mind (2) vanish all perturbance of the mind.
one who has once seen that form is not satisfied with anything else; no form in the material world can any longer satisfy the seer.
As spiritual beings, having eternal relations with that transcendental form of the Lord, we are, life after life, searching after that form of the Lord, and we are not satisfied by any other form of material appeasement.
Nārada Muni got a glimpse of this, but having not seen it again he became perturbed and stood up all of a sudden to search it out.
What we desire life after life was obtained by Nārada Muni, and losing sight of Him again was certainly a great shock for him.
