bātula kahaye – “sethā saba nirākāra” nirviśeṣa tini yena śunyera prakāra
अर्थ

The undeveloped intelligence of immature philosophers considers the Supreme Absolute Truth to be impersonal and devoid of qualities.

rasera bhāṇḍāri tini “raso vai saḥ” rasika bhāvuka seve hai tāṅra vaśa
अर्थ

Such philosophers do not know that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is storehouse of all transcendental mellows. The Vedic literatures emphatically describe the Supreme Absolute truth as raso vai saḥ, the source of all transcendental qualities, characteristics, and nectarean mellows of pure spiritual pleasures. Far from being impersonal, the Supreme Personality of Godhead is in fact the reservoir of transcendental rasa, or ecstatic mellow of personal loving exchanges. The pure devotees who serve the Lord in the different ecstatic mellows of devotional service are completely under the shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

sānta, dāsya, sakhya, vātsalya rasa āra sarvarasa śreṣṭha mādhurya rasa sāra
cid-jagate ‘rasa’ saba haya upādeya māyāte tāra chāyāmātra kintu saba heya
अर्थ

The ecstatic mellows or loving exchanges existing in the spiritual world are all super-excellent and superb. This material world is expanded from the spiritual world, but is merely the shadow of that original spiritual world. All the eternal relationships that exist in the spiritual world are also represented in this material world in a limited or perverted way, just as the shadow of a real object has the complete outline of the object’s form, but doesn’t have the full detail and variety of the original.
