Lord Caitanya’s Greatest Gift

Lord Caitanya’s greatest gift was His teaching that Krsna can be actually
treated as one’s lover. In this relationship the Lord is so much attached
that He expresses His inability to reciprocate. Krsna was so obliged to the
gopis, the cowherd girls of Vrndavana, that He felt unable to return their
love. “I cannot repay your love,” He told them. “I have no more assets to
return.” Thus devotional service is performed on this excellent platform,
and knowledge of the devotee’s relationship to Krsna as lover and beloved
was given by Caitanya Mahaprabhu. It was never given by any previous
incarnation or acarya. Thus Rupa Gosvami wrote of Caitanya: “Devotional
service itself is the highest platform, the glorious platform which You have
contributed. You are Krsna in a yellow complexion, and You are Sacinandana,
the son of mother Saci. Those who hear Caitanya-caritamrta will keep You in
their hearts. It will be easy to understand Krsna through You.” Thus
Caitanya Mahaprabhu came to deliver Krsna. His method of deliverance was not
meditation, fruitive activities or scriptural study, but love.
