Excerpt from Chaitanya and His Companions: With Two Tri-Colour Illustrations In the vast literature of the Vaisnavas, a stress is laid on Prema oi spiritual love. It is not that romantic sentiment which a man feels for a woman, nor that a mother feels for her child, though for the purpose of expressing it in literature, it becomes inevitable to adopt the phraseology of human passion. The Chaitanya Charitamrta says that an earthly passion is 'Kama' and not 'Prema.' The former limits the vision to a narrow place, nay darkens it; it does not allow a person to see beyond his self, while the latter (Prema) is like the glorious sun illuminating the truths of the Universe. Chaitanya himself said "the romance of sexual love, often confounded with Prema, is not true love. It is when sexual feeling is totally extinct that true love will grow in the soul."
