$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

For when you see the world as lover, every being, every phenomenon, can become \u2013 if you have a clever, appreciative eye \u2013 an expression of that ongoing, erotic impulse. It takes form right now in each one of us and in everyone and everything we encounter \u2013 the bus driver, the clerk at the checkout counter, the leaping squirrel.<\/p>\n

As we seek to discover the lover in each lifeform, you can find yourself in the dance of rasa-lila, sweet play, where each of the milkmaids who yearned for Krishna finds him magically at her side, her very own partner in the dance. The one beloved has become many, and the world itself her lover.<\/p>\n
