God-intoxicated

 

A Gopala once asked Radha how she felt when she saw Krishna, how her heart responded, what transformation occurred in her and what joy she experienced. 

Radha replied: “The moment I hear the melodious flute of Krishna, my heart becomes still, and I forget myself when I learn that Krishna is coming. I am lost in the music of His flute and I am aware of nothing else. How can I describe to you my feelings when I am intoxicated by the magic of His melody?”

The God-intoxicated devotee cannot describe his blissful experience in words. One who attempts to express it, has no real experience of it at all.
