Text

As soon as the beggars chanted the holy name, “Haribol,†they were immediately absorbed in ecstatic love of Godhead. In this way ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu performed wonderful pastimes.

Purport

To feel the emotion of ecstatic love of God is to be on the transcendental platform. If one can keep himself in that transcendental position, he will surely return home, back to Godhead. In the spiritual world there are no higher, middle or lower classes. This is confirmed in the Īśopaniṣad (7):

yasmin sarvÄṇi bhÅ«tÄny ÄtmaivÄbhÅ«d vijÄnataḥ
tatra ko mohaḥ kaḥ Å›oka ekatvam anupaÅ›yataḥ

“One who always sees all living entities as spiritual sparks, in quality one with the Lord, becomes a true knower of things. What, then, can be illusion or anxiety for him?â€
