PURPORT
When the living entity feels spiritual separation from Krsna (krsna-viraha), he has achieved the prime success of life.
When one becomes disinterested in material things, he is simply experiencing the other side of attraction for material things.
However, feeling separation from Krsna and engaging in the service of the Lord to fulfill His mission constitute the best example of love of Krsna.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu wanted to point out this intense love of Krsna exhibited by Madhavendra Puri.
All Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s devotees later followed in the footsteps of Madhavendra Puri, serving the Lord without personal considerations.
