What is the highest level of devotion as introduced to us by Sri Caitanya Maha Prabhu?
Srila Prabhupada writes beautifully in SRI CAITANYA CARITAMRUTHA:
“Lord Caitanya's greatest gift was His teaching that Krsna can be
actually treated as one's lover. In this relationship the Lord is so
much attached that He expresses His inability to reciprocate.
Krsna was so obliged to the gopis, the cowherd girls of Vrndavana, that He felt unable to return their love.
"I cannot repay your love," He told the gopis. "I have no more assets to return."
Thus devotional service is performed on this excellent platform, and
knowledge of the devotee's relationship to Krsna as lover and beloved
was given by Caitanya Mahaprabhu. It was never given by any previous
incarnation or acarya.
