[Gopala Campu 8.3.2 - The
bhavas (1) of
the two were like mirrors facing each other and receiving the bhavas of the other]
Srimad
Bhagavatam 11.10.26 "Just
as by continuous application of the eye-ointment the eyes become clean and can
see clearly those things that may be difficult to see, the constant reading of
the sacred texts that relate to My pastimes, or listening to them, purify the
heart and the devotee is able to see Me, who is otherwise too subtle to be seen
with ordinary senses."
I walked into
a temple of dream
silent steps
on a moonbeam,
everywhere was
beauty
draped in silvery
cascades,
and there, Krishna,
adorned with
sparkling
jewels
and
resplendent veils,
was sinuously
bent,
and in His
hand
held a long
brush -
drawing black
lines
around His
eyes,
and mesmerized
His gaze
became lost
in the mirror,
held in Radha's
hand
standing on
his left,
He caught a
glimpse
of Her
side-long glance;
She tilted her
head
feigning
shyness,
but secretly amused,
out of her
doe-like eyes,
quickly darted
an arrow of desire
to hook the
reflecting
elongated
petal of His eye,
and suddenly a
tide
of passion
swelled,
rippling the
skin,
the hips, the
limbs intertwined,
as the Divine
couple united
in Their
eternal dance of love,
and two bodies
became as One,
suddenly I could
see
a golden
creeper embracing
a bluish tamarind
tree.
