The Top Most Form

Lord Caitanya shows love of God to its fullest extent. Lord Caitanya are gradually bringing us deeper and deeper into full ecstatic surrender to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, where it shows that pure devotional service is not just an activity where one is giving up all material desires - anyabhilasita-sunyam jnana-karmady-anavrtam- where one gives up all desires for material enjoyment, where one gives up all hankering for liberation.

Lord Caitanya shows that pure devotional service is filled with the greatest ecstasy. Not only a type of ecstasy which is anywhere in the realm happiness that we know but where the happiness and the ecstasy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is bursting out of His heart like lava bursting out of a volcano- completely uncontrolled!

Lord Caitanyā exhibits Symptoms of Advance Devotee

The Supreme Lord in His most munificent form exhibits how advanced devotees exhibit the 8 bodily symptoms - as described in Bhakti-rasāmrta Sindhu.
1) dhumayita (smoking)
2) jvalita (lighted)
3)
4)
5)
6) dipta (blazing)
7) uddipta (inflamed)
8) suddipta (intensely inflamed)

When love of God first arises, then such love of God is manifesting in the smoking stage (dhumayita), where it is like a smoldering fire within the heart. But with due course of time, that fire becomes more and more inflamed more and more, until finally comes to the stage of suddipta- an intensely blazing fire. And it was like that, that the love of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu manifested.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, “My mind is like a horse and the five senses are seated upon this horse and this horse is just running at full speed towards Radha and Krsna.”

So in this way, the Supreme Lord exhibited the Krsna consciousness which was way beyond religious principle, it was way beyond ecstatic devotional service, it was just overwhelming, uncontrolled love for Krsna, which was so strong that it resembled tidal waves.
