The preparations Radhika singlehandedly cooks for Her Prāṇanātha in the evening, on the order of mother Yaśodā, are excellent. She does not wear many ornaments and She cooks alone. There’s nobody around so She does not have many clothes on. The maidservant can thus relish the sweetness of Her scantily clad body, and she jokingly says:

tuyā aṅge vilepinu sucandra candana;
se sab hoiyā gelo dhūlira samāna e tāpa baṭakāvalī sādhana agnite;
e ati āścarya śītala hoilo tvarite e vacana śuni’ dhani mora gaṇḍa-sthale;
koribe aṅguli-ghāta ati sneha-bhare
(Prārthanāmṛta Taraṅginī)

“Hey Śyāmājū! The cooling sandal paste  and camphor I put on Your body to (to extinguish the fire of Your separation from Kṛṣṇa) swiftly turned into dust and powder! But how amazing! Now the fire You use to make cakes for Kṛṣṇa is quickly cooling You off! Hearing these words You affectionately tap me on the cheek with Your finger.”

Svāminī puts all the preparations on golden plates and covers them with sheets. She has full faith that Tulasī and the other maidservants will feed Kṛṣṇa as if She Herself is doing it.

mad vidhānām nija sakhīnām means –  ‘Your girlfriends, of whom I am one!’

The practising devotee should also immerse himself in that rasa.

Śrī Narottama Ṭhākura sings: dehe nā koriho āsthā: “Don’t place your trust in the material body!”

Trust should be placed in the spiritual body. “I am Your maidservant!” – what a beautiful introduction!

Kṛṣṇa dāsa abhimāne ye ānanda-sindhu;
koṭi brahma-sukha nahe tāra eka bindu (C.C.) –
“The bliss of brahman multiplied ten million times is not one drop compared to the ocean of bliss the devotee swims in when he considers himself to be Kṛṣṇa’s servant”.

And the self-identification as Rādhā’s maidservant is even more blissful than that!
Rādhārāṇī considers the kiṅkarīs to be Her own: “My Rūpa! My Tulasi! My maidservant!”

“O Svāmini! I don’t want anything else but to belong to Your group! Please take me by the hand and accept me as Your maidservant!”

A little of this great aspiration should also awaken within the hearts of the practising devotee.

Svāminī now sends Tulasī off to Nandīśvara with Śyāmasundara’s eatables. Tightly hugging her, She says: “Tulasi, go now! I cannot go Myself, but I will be as much satisfied when you feed Kṛṣṇa as when I would do it Myself!”

How affectionate Svāminī is to Tulasī! The practising devotee should awaken feelings like:
“O! Will I not get such affection from You even one day in my life? My heart cries for getting that affection! Have mercy and keep me at the feet of Your Rūpa and Your Tulasī!”

Crying like this, the sādhaka will faint and bring down the shower of Svāminī’s mercy. How mercifully Svāminī keeps the maidservant at Her chest! Such compassion, as the maidservants enjoy, cannot be found anywhere else.

“O Svāmini! I want to spend my whole life with the awareness that I am Your maidservant!”

If one cherishes this desire one will indeed be able to spend one’s whole life in this mood. Svāminī wears a thin sārī, not covering Her head with Her veil.

She’s in Her own home, saying: “Tulasi, go now! Feed Him nicely and then come back! You all know that I am controlled by My superiors! I cannot go Myself! When you keep your chest to Mine, then you will understand! Look into My eyes once!”

Then She holds Tulasī to Her chest and lovingly hands her the dishes for Her Prāṇanātha. What an excellent service this is! The Gosvāmīs cried for such service with breaking hearts!

“I have to serve Śyāma while my heart is merged in Svāminī’s heart and my eyes have merged in Her eyes”.

Such a sweet service can not be found anywhere! As soon as Tulasī takes the plates from Svāminī’s hands she does not feel anything anymore. What a heartrending agony she feels when the vision stops.

Raghunātha pitifully cries: “O Svāmini! When will You send Your preparations to Kṛṣṇa through me?
