A person—to be happy in mind, body, and soul—should hear hari-katha from superiors. If you are like Vyasadeva, who had no worldly desires at all, then you will be happy—body, mind, and soul— and you can have darsana of the sweet pastimes of Krsna—from beginning to end.
Separation is essential. How high is this separation? Their meeting will be so interesting, so tasteful. We cannot tell, but when you realize—you can realize. Then by words you can tell. All sastra are telling loudly: if you follow all these things, very soon bhakti will come. I am requesting you, Rupa Gosvami is requesting, sastra is requesting: if you want to be happy, do bhajana of Krsna.
