Question to Radhanath Swami: I have heard that spirituality involves becoming emotionless, to kill all the affection we feel for others. That thought scares me. Is all that true?
Radhanath Swami: Everyone wants affection. Everyone needs affection. It’s the fundamental craving of the heart—to give affection and to receive affection. That’s the nature of the soul. Prema is the eternal nature of the soul—to love, to serve. And in that comes the greatest enjoyment.
