In the spiritual world the non-material love that culminates in the ecstasy of mahā-bhāva is very sweet. In the material world that spiritual love is pervertedly reflected. That reflection, that pathetic imitation, is the material love of material men and women, a love whose pleasures lead to an ocean of troubles.
