Most people think of God simply as a witness or facilitator of
their own romantic affairs. The Bhaktivedanta tradition reveals
that the conjugal love experienced by human beings is a mere
reflection of a spiritual reality in which the same love exists in
an absolute, pristine state. So we don't need to turn away from
beauty and love in this world. We just need to see the source and
origin behind it. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore Plato's ladder of
beauty alongside the bhakti path — and find they are pointing in
the same direction. Every spark of beauty in this world springs
from the same source. Use it as a stepping stone, not a dead end.
And at the top of that ladder, the Srimad Bhagavatam opens the most
sacred passage in all of Vedic literature — the Rāsa Līlā. Krishna,
lacking nothing, takes shelter of his own internal potency and
enters the most intimate of all loving affairs. The unconquerable
is conquered by love.
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.29.1
