Summary: Spiritual emotions (bhava) are very high. They come before prema, which is pure love for God, which has completely overtaken one's existence. Pure love of God is really wonderful. We need that, we need the association of those who love God. Only those who love God are really interesting. Other people who are loving material things, they have not much to offer to us. We cannot offer to them our time, because our time is very precious. If we give our time to those who only have attachment for sense gratification, then our whole human life will be wasted. We cannot give our time to television, sports, politics. We cannot give our time to anything which is not taking us closer to Krishna. An intense eagerness develops in the heart of the devotee who is actually fixed in devotional service. He wants to be with Krishna. He has full hope that Krishna will do something, so that he can reach His lotus feet. This mood is very special.
