Summary
How can longing be ecstasy? How can absence be the deepest form of presence? This is one of the great mysteries of love — and bhakti yoga illuminates it. When Ram banished Sita, it looked like abandonment. When Krishna disappeared from the Rāsa Dance, it looked like cruelty. But a saint follower of Rama revealed the secret to Radhanath Swami: love driven inward by separation reaches special depths. In union the beloved is found in one place. In separation the beloved is found everywhere. What looks like pain from the outside is the most profound bliss from the inside.
