radhikara—of Srimati Radharani; bhava—emotion; yaiche—just as; uddhava-darsane—in seeing Sri Uddhava; sei—that; bhave—in the state; matta—maddened; prabhu—Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu; rahe—remains; ratri-dine—day and night.

Just as Radhika went mad at the sight of Uddhava, so Lord Caitanya was obsessed day and night with the madness of separation.

PURPORT

Those under the shelter of the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu can understand that His mode of worship of the Supreme Lord Krsna in separation is the real worship of the Lord.

When the feelings of separation become very intense, one attains the stage of meeting Sri Krsna.

So-called devotees like the sahajiyas cheaply imagine they are meeting Krsna in Vrndavana.

Such thinking may be useful, but actually meeting Krsna is possible through the attitude of separation taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
