We are all rupanugas. The followers of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu are the followers of Rupa Gosvami. Lord Caitanya Mahapabhu showed what bhakti is, but Srila Rupa Goswami explained what bhakti is. Showing is the most important. First you have to show what bhakti means, when you forget about everything, you just remember God. Lord Caitanya by His example showed what it means to be totally dedicated to God with every movement of the mind. An explanation is necessary, because just by showing people will not be able to follow it, or there is a great chance that instead of following they just imitate you. Therefore Rupa Gosvami explained what was in the heart of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. To explain something you need to experience it. This is a very difficult task, but Srila Rupa Gosvami experienced it and explained it.

"Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu" is the most important book, it explains how to reach the level of understanding "Ujjvala-nilamani". We have to clearly understand the path that leads us to the goal. First we have to understand who we are, then we have to understand what is the goal that comes from understanding who we are. Then we have to understand how to achieve our goal. Srila Rupa Gosvami’s mission was to establish the mission of Lord Caitanya on this earth. To make sure that all people who would like to follow in the footsteps of Lord Caitanya would be able to do it.

Understanding that God is all powerful is cheating because you want to exploit God, you want Him to fulfill your desire. The nature of God is such that He is sweet and beautiful. If we want to understand God, first we have to understand that He is all-attractive, all-beautiful, and all-merciful. When we have this conception of God, we have a chance to get rid of our cheating propensities within the heart. If the essence of God is beauty, then the highest experience of God that we have when we approach God, or when we have a real functional relationship with Him must be of this aesthetic nature. The appreciation of His beauty is the real relationship with God. Rasa means the aesthetic pleasure that we experience when we come close to something very beautiful, it is a spiritual experience.
