Constitutional Position Definition of Rasa Krishna - The Supreme Enjoyer

Digest 00076B: Krishna is enjoying and we experience His happiness through the medium of devotional service

Written by Romapada Swami

Question: I had once expressed that I’d like to use my desire to enjoy my original, loving relationship with Krishna as a motivation for my every activity.   A senior devotee corrected my language at that time by saying that I should use my desire to experience – not enjoy – that original, loving relationship. Why is the word “experience” preferable, when the enjoyment refered to was in relation to Krishna? Is it because a devotee never aspires to enjoy anything — not even in relation to Krishna, since his nature is to aspire only to serve — even though enjoyment does come as a byproduct of his service?
