The affection of devotees gives us strength to continue our bhakti. Sometimes, a few kind words or a loving embrace can renew our enthusiasm to serve Krishna. HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj said, We may not realise or understand the glory of the gift we have received. But still we are experiencing its benefits and we are even distributing the blessings to others. Knowingly or unknowingly we all are participating in Lord Caitanya's pastimes. The goal and means are same.
