Just as RÄdhikÄ went mad at the sight of Uddhava, so Lord Caitanya was obsessed day and night with the madness of separation.

Purport

Those under the shelter of the lotus feet of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu can understand that His mode of worship of the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa in separation is the real worship of the Lord. When the feelings of separation become very intense, one attains the stage of meeting ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa.

So-called devotees like the sahajiyÄs cheaply imagine they are meeting Kṛṣṇa in Vá¹›ndÄvana. Such thinking may be useful, but actually meeting Kṛṣṇa is possible through the attitude of separation taught by ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu.
